Redo Log recommended size

PinelaNov 7 2011 — edited Aug 27 2012
Greetings All,

For some time I've questioned myself what would be the correct redologsize for a given database.
I found the note
10g New Feature: REDO LOGS SIZING ADVISORY [ID 274264.1]

that says:
"+As rule of thumb switching logs at most once every fifteen minutes.+"

Well, I came across a DB with about 3 logswitches/minute (OEL 4.6, 10gR2 RAC environment).
Do you agree that this number is WAY over what it should be? What are your redolog sizes?

The note also mentioned using the v$instance_recovery view to advise on the redolog size, which takes into account the MTTR.

Thank you.
BR,
Pinela.
