Request best practice grid home recommendation when upgrading 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3
Now that patches like this are supposed to be out of place installs, I'm looking for best practice recommendation(s) for grid home.
I was told that for Oracle database home, the purpose of dbhome_1 was to handle this type of upgrade, you just create a dbhome_2 or what have you for naming, and install there.
However, when following Oracle's best practices for 11g, they suggested separate users (database user (oracle), cluster user (grid)). Oracle didn't seem to follow a similar route for grid user as they did for oracle user.
Thus, we have a grid user's home as /u01/app/grid and a clustering directory as /u01/app/11.2.0 and a database users home as /u01/app/oracle with the database installed in /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1.
