Oracle Home Best Practice?

edited Jan 17, 2013 1:40PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
Hi everyone,
I just want to get some information about Oracle Home structure best practice.

For Oracle Database, it seems ok to set Oracle home under the Oracle base, for example, ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle, and ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.

For Oracle Grid Infrastructure, it would complain if the ORACLE_HOME is under ORACLE_BASE, even though you can ignore it and force the installation.

In my case, I set up like this:
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/db/11.2.0.3      (For DB)
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/grid/11.2.0.3    (For Grid)

It works fine until I provision it to another host. The Cloud Control 12c complains that the grid ORACLE_HOME is under ORACLE_BASE and can't force it to go.

Howdy, Stranger!
