Sami,

I hope this helps, I got this directly out of the DBA Fundamentals I, Volume
I, Student Guide, Page 7-5, for 9i:

Structure of Online Redo Log Files (continued)

Creating Initial Redo Log Files

The initial set of online redo log file groups and members are created
during the database creation.

The following parameters limit the number of online redo log files:

* The MAXLOGFILES parameter in the CREATE DATABASE command specifies the
absolute maximum of online redo log file groups.
* The maximum and default values for MAXLOGFILES is dependent on your
operating system.
* The MAXLOGMEMBERS parameter used in the CREATE DATABASE command determines
the maximum number of members per group. The maximum and default value for
MAXLOGMEMBERS is dependent on your operating system.
