ORACLE_BASE when installing GRiD

edited Oct 16, 2017 5:03AM in Database - RAC/Scalability (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered
I am in the process of upgrading to 11.2.0.3 in a RAC+GRID environment.

The installer asks for a place to put the new GRID software, and makes a suggestion for that.

It specifies ORACLE_BASE in the format of:  /u01/app/<<software owner>>  (typically "grid")

It suggests an ORACLE_HOME of:  /u01/app/11.2.0/grid

Note that the suggested ORACLE_HOME for the grid install, does not live inside the suggested ORACLE_BASE.

This seems to be different than what happens when installing/upgrading the DBMS software.

In the DBMS install ORACLE_BASE will be specified like :  /u01/app/oracle

and then an ORACLE_HOME is suggsted that lives on top of ORACLE_BASE:  /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1

Howdy, Stranger!
