I am unable to drop a logfile member of a group in which there are 2 members.
SQL> alter database drop logfile member
2 '$ORACLE_HOME/oracle2dump/oracle2redo/redo32.rdo';
alter database drop logfile member
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00362: member is required to form a valid logfile in group 3
ORA-01517: log member: '$ORACLE_HOME/oracle2dump/oracle2redo/redo32.rdo'
select group#,members,status from v$log;
GROUP# MEMBERS STATUS
---------- ---------- ----------------
1 2 INACTIVE
2 2 INACTIVE
3 2 INACTIVE
4 2 CURRENT
5 2 INACTIVE
I am not dropping the current group member, but the other inactive members.

Hello,
I am having the same problem as myana. I am going to apply the solution that is given but before that, I would like to know whether there is no workaround to dropping the entire log group. Is there not a way using which we can drop a particular logfile memeber?
Thanksin advance.

I got the solution to my problem. I had added some memebers to my logfile groups and one of them wasn't in the appropriate location. That's the one I wanted to drop but I couldn't. Besides, the "status" column of the view v$logfile was reading 'INVALID' for all the memebers I had created. So I tried alter system switch logfile so four times (I have 3 logfile group) and when the group where the 'wrong' member was located became 'INACTIVE', I issued alter database drop logfile member 'path_to_the_member' . The command was successful. Afterwards, I manually deleted the file from the hard disk.
