10. From a SQL*Plus session, re-create any online redo logfiles that are still currently on the local file system to ASM. This is done by simply dropping the logfiles from the local file system and re-creating them in ASM as below. Note : While dropping redolog group, make sure that it is not current redolog group. If you do so, you will get error as SQL> ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1; ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 1
