Hi!

If RMAN successfully executed 'alter database open resetlogs', then you had apparently created the directories for the redo logs as they were on the primary host, no? Otherwise RMAN would have complained.

Now if you want to change this location, you can not do that directly with RMAN. You have to create new redo log groups and drop the old ones as explained in the Oracle server admin guide. Received on Thu Mar 18 2004 - 03:54:49 CST
