I disagree -=20 -multiplexing provides you protection against user error that mirroring doesn't.=20 -Also, I have experienced bugs with mirroring hardware/software that caused the mirror to corrupt data -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Wagoner Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 10:47 AM To: ORACLE-L (E-mail) Subject: Multiplex Redo Logs with Mirrored Disks? Is there any need to multiplex redo logs with mirrored disks (e.g., RAID-1 or RAID-1+0)? Example- Oracle recommends multiplexing redo logs on separate disks, like redo01a.log on Disk1 and redo01b.log on Disk2, etc. However, now that mirrored disks are in common use with RAID-1+0, RAID-1, etc. it seems that sufficient protection is in place to use only a single copy of each redo log. This would also provide the benefit of reduced disk I/O to write redo information to disk. Anyone disagree? Best regards, David B.
