Hi,

We are replacing once of the disks where a mirrored control file and redo logs reside, nothing else, with a higher disk capacity. I can either use the recommended Oracle approach to moving/relocating control
and redo log files but for my purpose it would seem laborious compared to what I am thinking is the quickest. But I need to know whether you agree to this.

This is what I intend to do:

1. Shutdown the database
2. Make a full backup.
3. Copy the control and redo log files on Disk A to Disk B
4. Replace Disk A (Disk A wiil have the same drive letter/designation)
5. Copy control and redo log files back from Disk B
6. Startup the database.

Is this safe?

Thanks,

George
