Requirements for Creating an Oracle Clusterware Home Directory
2.13 Requirements for Creating an Oracle Clusterware Home Directory
During installation, you are prompted to provide a path to a home directory to store
Oracle Clusterware binaries. Ensure that the directory path you provide meets the
following requirements:
■ It should be created in a path separate from existing Oracle homes.
■ It should not be located in a user home directory.
■ It should be created either as a subdirectory in a path where all files can be owned
by root, or in a unique path.
■ Before installation, it should be owned by the installation owner of Oracle
Clusterware (typically oracle for a single installation owner for all Oracle
software, or crs for role-based Oracle installation owners), and set to 750
permissions.
For installations with Oracle Clusterware only, Oracle recommends that you create a
path compliant with Oracle Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) guidelines, so that
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) can select that directory during installation. For OUI
to recognize the path as an Oracle software path, it must be in the form u0[1-9]/app.
When OUI finds an OFA-compliant path, it creates the Oracle Clusterware and Oracle
Central Inventory (oraInventory) directories for you.
Create an Oracle Clusterware path. For example:
# mkdir -p /u01/app
# chown -R crs:oinstall /u01
Alternatively, if you later intend to install Oracle Database software, then create an
Oracle base path. OUI automatically creates an OFA-compliant path for Oracle
Clusterware derived from the Oracle base path. The Optimal Flexible Architecture
path for the Oracle Base is /u01/app/user, where user is the name of the user
account that you want to own the Oracle Database software. For example:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
Note: If you choose to create an Oracle Clusterware home manually,
then do not create the Oracle Clusterware home under Oracle base.
Creating an Oracle Clusterware installation in an Oracle base
directory will cause succeeding Oracle installations to fail.
