Multiplex Redo Logs on RAC

===========================
##
## Objective
##
In this example I have two ASM disk groups for redo logs:
DATA
FRA
There are FOUR instances, each instance will have TWO redo groups
with TWO members each, one on DATA the other on FRA.
Originally this database was created with a single REDO member in
DATA disk group sized 750mb -- my goal here is to:
a) "resize" it to 1000mb
b) multiplex to FRA
##

first create temporary redo-groups

so that we can delete GROUP 1-8 and recreate them
with a bigger 256m size ...
NOTE:
I didn't really have to create these temp groups with
2 members each ... one member each would suffice

ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE THREAD 1
