RE: Dropping online logs on physical standby

On 8i when you do a graceful failover you copy the online redo logs manually from production to the standby.

9i makes it even easier and it creates the online redo logs on the new primary for you. The files for the redo logs on the old primary remain on the system but they are no longer written to.

Jay,
I was under the impression that the standby would need them once it became the primary. Since they switch roles, doesn't the new primary (old standby) use online logs and sync them to the standby logs on the new standby (old primary) once it's back online?
