I haven't tried this yet (I feel a test coming on) but what happens if HW mirroring is in use and someone (say the trainee DBA) decided to delete one of the mirrored redo files ?
The other mirror gets deleted as well and we have no redo files anymore. With Oracle mirroring, this can't/won't happen so it should be much safer.

Having said that, I'm sure to be told that it is not possible to delete a redo file while the system is running - HOWARD ?

We use Oracle Mirroring and have so far, never lost a redo file, nor had one corrupted - watch this space (FLW)

Regards,
Norman.
