CRS HOME vs ORACLE BASE

Hi,
Please i need clarification on this issue:
When you have your CRS HOME as a subdirectory of your ORACLE_BASE, whats the implication. I saw an ORACLE DOCs, that says that your CRS_HOME should not be a subdirectory of your ORACLE_BASE;
say:
CRS_HOME=/oraprod/test/crs
ORACLE_BASE=/oraprod/test
ORACLE_HOME=/oraprod/test/ora10g
We have this settings in place, its working fine with a 2-node RAC DB but we are finding it extremely difficult to set-up another RAC Database on the same CRS_HOME to use same crs resources.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Innocent

Do you think this will also affect installation of
another RAC DATABASE in the same BASE directory?Here is permission of CRS_HOME
$cd $CRS_HOME
$ ls -lisa
total 200
20405304 4 drwxr-xr-x 37 root dba 4096 Feb 23 22:14 .
20405303 4 drwxr-xr-x 11 oracle dba 4096 Feb 23 22:24 ..
As listing shown above , parent directory is owned by
oracle, so it will allow to install Oracle.

    If your organization does not have a standardized nomenclature, then oracle has recommendations.

  • INS-32008 Oracle base vs user home

    Hi,
    Installing 11g R2 on Red Hat
    (uname -a
    Linux daniel3.wycliffe.org 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 31 09:04:24 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
    Under 10.2, (and 10.1 and 9.2 etc...) we made the oracle account's home directory to be /u01/app/oracle, which is also our standard Oracle Base.
    But the 11.2 installer doesn't seem to like this. We get:
    [INS-32008] Oracle base location cant be same as the user home home directory. Are you sure you want to continue?
    This message can "apparently" be ignored and we have successfully installed several no frills 11.2 databases. But why this warning? What is the potential issue here that is troubling the installer? I really want us to be doing things as standard as possible.
    Thanks for any help here.

    Hi,
    OFA means Oracle Flexible Architecture and this is recommended oracle directory architecture for Oracle installation and storing files. After years of eperiences of customers of Oracle, Oracle corporation comes up with new recommendations to make product better and better.
    In 11.g it is even not recommended to store oracle inventory under oracle base directory. So oracle inventory should be /u01/app/oraInventory and base directory should be /u01/app/oracle/
    When you violate OFA, you receive a warning, but, still it will allow you to install anything any where on the file system.
    Followig document may clear some of your doubts.

  • Oracle Base in wrong place

    hello,
    As part of an upgrade to 11.2.02, I installed the binaries into a new home etc, and then upgraded the database. All appears to be working fine, BUT I made an error with the location of the Oracle Base during the install. Is it possible for me to move this, (and if so would some kind soul point me at the relevant documentation) or will i have to uninstall/re-install the binaries ?
    Many thanks,
    A

    hi
    I've never heard about moving oracle homes/bases.
    Why bother with it if it works?
    Rather you can install 11.2.0.2 in another good location and them move database (e.g. with expdp/impdp or RMAN).
    I think you cannot easly reinstall to the old 11.2.0.1 home , only with downgrade option which by the way can make problems.

  • Can we have separate 10gR2 RAC CRS and 11gR2 RAC CRS homes on  same Unix s

    We'd like to test the upgrade of our 10gR2 RAC databases to 11gR2 RAC.
    We have six databases on the same server and want to install a separate 11g RAC stack (11g CRS, 11g ASM, 11g RDBMS) and upgrade each 10g database from 10g RAC stack on same server (10g CRS, 10g ASM, 10g RDBMS) . Is it ok to have 10g CRS home and 11g CRS home same server? If not, how best to upgrade without buying more hardware?
    Thanks in advance,
    Lou

    In more detail, the main issue/question is whether there can be 2 Oracle CRS homes on the same server i.e. separate 10gR2 and 11gR2 CRS homes residing on the same server for the purposes of (gradually) upgrading all Oracle RDBMS homes from 10g RAC to 11g RAC.
    Can there be? What would be the implications for the OCR and voting disk? In our case 10g CRS has OCR and Voting Disk on raw devices. In 11gR2, these would need to be migrated/upgraded/stored in ASM, right?
    We have 6 10g rdbms homes in addition to the one 10g CRS home and one 10g ASM home. To upgrade can we
    - Install 11gR2 CRS in a separate home (this would now include ASM as well)
    - Install 11gR2 RDBMS home
    - Upgrade one of the 6 10g databases while leaving the others untouched as 10g databases in the separate 10g CRS, 10g ASM stack?
    Any ideas, pointers greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Lou

  • Should oracle base directory be installed on share drive?

    I am installing oracle 11g on a windows cluster and I want to know if I should point the oracle base to the share drive or the C drive?
    Thanks

    To minimize downtime during future upgrades, Oracle recommends that you use a separate Oracle home for each major component (for example, a separate Oracle home each for the database, application software, and Oracle Fail Safe).
    Make sure you have exact same oracle home name and location in order to ensure a proper failover.
    Other thing you need to consider is whenever you make any change in tnsnames.ora,sqlnet.ora,listener.ora or PWD file, you will need to replicate those changes to other node's oracle home as well.
    I hope this answered your question.

  • Grid Base directory vs. Oracle Base Directory

    We are running 102042 with 3 different homes as below.
    CRS_HOME - /app/oracle/crs
    ASM_HOME - /app/oracle/asm
    ORACLE_HOME - /app/oracle/db_1
    We are planning to upgrade to 11g R2. As part my my assessment, I have been reading documentation and found the following.
    "Running the root.sh script during the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation changes ownership of the home directory where clusterware binaries are placed to root, and all ancestor directories to the root level (/) are also changed to root. For this reason, the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster home cannot be in the same location as other Oracle
    software."
    So if I understand this correctly, I need following directory structure in order to procced with upgrade.
    GRID_HOME - /app_new/oracle/crs
    ORACLE_HOME - /app/oracle/db_1
    Please confirm.
    Cheers,

    Hi Neil,

  • Unique Oracle Base directory-reusing fails

    Hi,
    I'm in a process of installation of GC 10.2 on RH4.
    After failed installation I ininstalled all products with OUI and deleted all directories; cleaned oratab file.
    At the point of specifying Oracle Home there is a message:
    "Please specify a Unique Oracle Base directory" - ? - does not allow for reuse of the previous (non-existing ) directories)
    What is the file where the previous installation info is recorded?
    Thx,

  • Oracle Base vs. Software Location

    Hi,
    Is it OK to use different drive locations for Oracle Base and Oracle Software Location?
    For example, if I make the Oracle Base point to E:\diag, and the Software Location point to C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1, would that cause any issues?
    When I try this, I get the following message:
    [INS-32018] The selected Oracle Home is outside of Oracle Base. Are you sure you want to continue?
    Is there a reason I shouldn't do it this way?
    thanks much,

  • Relocate CRS HOME

    Hi all,
    I have a scenarion at client where in the crs mount point is almost 90% full.
    The OS (HP-UX) team said that it cannot be extended. The strategy they said that they will create a new lun on storage and mount on server remove existing mount point and rename. After copying the binaries of crs home. Reboot and check.
    Here the doubt is will it work. Tried some googling and metalink search but couldnt find related info. According to me there might be issues with linking and inventory. Even OCR backup goes in CRS HOME what abt that. Or should i completely remove crs installation and add a mount point and again install crs.
    The environment is oracle 10gR2 RAC 2 nodes on HP-UX 11i.
    Any suggestion or info would be of great help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    you need to reinstall CRS to be able to relocate home. But you can save time by cloning the CRS home this does not mean the OCR and other cluster configuration will remain as it is this only mean a installation without OUI OCR and vote and all other resources will be reconfigured.
    you said your new mount will be on storage server. So, are you moving from local installation to shared home installation as well?
    Thanks

  • Changing Oracle Base of OUI with Command line?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying install the latest version of the Oracle ODAC (11.2.0.1.2) on a Win-7 32bit machine. I have a batch file that works perfectly with XP SP3 that allowed me to use "set ORACLE_BASE=C:\oracle" in cmd and the directory would be reflected in the OUI, but this is not the case when I try the same thing on Win7. No matter what I try, the default oracle base is C:\app\<user>. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    this is not the case when I try the same thing on Win7which edition of Windows 7?

  • Apply quaterly CPU to CRS home?

    Hello experts,
    I am in the process of upgrading 4 node RAC cluster from 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.3. However I have a doubt to which I am unable to find a good solution or document yet.
    I have two ORACLE_HOME, a CRS and db_1 home on my Linux server and they both are on 10.2.0.2. My db_1 home has upto date CPU applied.
    Now my question is, before upgrading to 10.2.0.3, do I need to apply the CPU patches to CRS home? I am bit confused.
    Also is there any metalink document (other than the document that comes with the upgrade patch) on how to safely upgrade to 10.2.0.3?
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks troach, I agree with you that latest patch set has all the fixes upto point. However, since I have two oracle_homes and the fact that I have applied the patches to db home only (not CRS home), I am not quite sure if I need to apply security patches to CRS home too so that both homes can be on the same patcheset (CPUs) before I start upgrading.
    The reason I am asking is, according to Upgrade Document, CRS version should be higher or equal to the current db home version and I am not quite sure if I need to apply CPUs on CRS home first to make it consistent the db home before upgrading CRS to 10.2.0.3
    Also, thanks for the advice to go to 10.2.0.4. However, my company's policy is against upgrading to newer patch set right away.
    Thanks for your time again...
