Subject: Addition of Redo logfile onto RAW Device Failing  

Folks  

A Basic issue - Addition of Redo logfile onto RAW Device is Failing with the following error.

NOTE - Existing Database Redo Logfiles exist on Mounted Filesystem, like the est of the Database files.  

Qs Should REUSE be used in the Add logfile Command?  

Oracle 10.2.0.3.0

HP-UX B.11.23  

Cheers & Thanks V much  

Vivek
