How to increase the maximum number of control files

oracleoracle-10g

ORA-00208 number of control file names exceeds limit of num

Cause: An attempt was made to use more control files than Oracle
supports. The limit is given in the message.

num = 8.

I need to create 11 control files.

Best Answer

It is clearly documented that the parameter can not have more than 8 values.

CONTROL_FILES

Range of values: 1 to 8 filenames
