But if you are concerned that shutdown abort could
corrupt your redo logs, then that is equivalent to
mandating that all servers (that run oracle) must be
on an "infinite" uninterruptible power supply. An
instance failure (eg loss of power) is effectively a
shutdown abort - so the only way to avoid that would
be to have power available all the time.
You couldn't have a UPS that is good for (say) 12
hours - because we can never guarantee that a shutdown
immediate would finish in this amount of time - and
you could not speed up the job with a shutdown abort
because that is the cause of all the consternation in
the first place
If you're getting corrupt redo logs with shutdown
abort, then you're exposed to corrupt redo logs
anyway. Its not a shutdown abort problem, its a bug
in either the oracle or OS layer.
