How can I resolve a Redo logfile blocksize catch 22?

in Database Administration (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered ✓

Oracle Enterprise edition 19c.

In a test environment I created a physical machine running Windows 2022 server. Long story short, I have been working with RAID arrays. In between each iteration I shutdown the DB disable the services and move the database to another drive. After recreating the Array I move the data back and startup the services.

Unfortunately the arrays I am switching between have different sector sizes. One is 512 the other is 4096. When moving from a 4096 to 512 sector size I was able to set a parameter "_DISK_SECTOR_SIZE_OVERRIDE"=TRUE and open the database. I then created new logfiles which were created with 512 byte blocksize. I dropped the 4096 blocksize log files.

Howdy, Stranger!
