5.4.3 About Creating the Oracle Base Directory Path

The Oracle base directory for the Oracle Installation User for Oracle Grid Infrastructure is the location where diagnostic and administrative logs, and other logs associated with Oracle ASM and Oracle Clusterware are stored.

If the directory or path you specify during installation for the Grid home does not exist, then OUI creates the directory.

Note:

  • Placing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster binaries on a cluster file system is not supported.

  • Starting from Oracle Database 12c onwards, the base directory for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and the base directory for Oracle RAC must be different from the directories used by the Oracle RAC 11g release 2 installation.
