Hi Friends,

OS - aix 4.3.2
db - oracle 8.1.5

We encountered a disk failure/crash in our database. We can't salvage
the data on the disk anymore, and eventually the entire disk where
the oracle_home and dbf reside was replaced. This happened on friday
evening. The db was in archive log mode, we do cold backup on
Sundays, and take daily backup of the archive logs (mon. thru sat.)
as what the backup/recovery docs suggest.
Following the recovery procedure, we reinstall the rdbms following
the same filesystem name and directories. Then we restore the cold
backup from 4mm tape to the target directories. We can now startup
the database from the previous Sunday backup. My problem is how to apply the backed-up archived logs from monday - friday? I've tried reading the recovery docs but it does not clearly explain the steps
or I was just a little dumb to understand it.

Please Help.
Thanks you
