Thanks for the advice. Would you put redo1_1 on the 4.2, redo1_2 on the 9.0, redo2_1 on the 4.2 and redo2_2 on the 9.0??

I'm not clear on the way the switching occurs.

I guess what I really wanted to know, beside the answer to the redo log distribution was whether tools or drsys would not affect performance too much if they were in Ufs.

Thanks in advance,
