Hi,

I'm getting an error message when trying to add a 2nd online redo logs to a map drive..

SQL> alter database add logfile member 'Y:\FOLDER\log\R2b_PF.LOG' to group 3;
alter database add logfile member 'Y:\FOLDER\log\R2b_PF.LOG' to group 3
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00301: error in adding logfile 'Y:\FOLDER\log\R2b_PF.LOG' -
file cannot be created
ORA-27040: skgfrcre: create error, unable to create file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 3) The system cannot find the path specified.

can the online redo log be on a remote drive (e.g. mapped drive)?

THanks

Double check the path
check permissions.

In order to do this on Windows, you have to configure the Windows Oracle Service to start with the oracle user account. However, I would not recommend putting redo logs on mapped drives.

Remote drives are not supported by Oracle on Windows.

It's not a matter of it not being supported, just not recommended (Accessing Data Files and Log Files on Remote Computers).

Thanks for all your reply...

the main reason for doing this is to backup the online redo logs to a standby machine just in-case a failure occurred before it writes to an archive log file.
