instance and database. Which volume configuration is best for the Oracle Redo Log files?

A data warehouse team is reporting poor performance on their batch reports. The database runs
on a Solaris host connected to a DMX-4 array with Fibre Channel drives sized to support a

In a Cascaded Dynamic SRDF environment, Customer is experiencing performance issues at
Site-A. To immediately correct the issue, a command was issued to vary the RF-ports offline

in a suspended state. There are concerns that when the RF-ports are brought back online the RAGroup will resume replication and recreate performance issue at Site-A. What action can be taken
to ensure replication does not resume when RF-ports are brought back online?
