Installing Binary Files and Configuration Files on a Shared File System

To simplify the maintenance of your Oracle installation, you can install the Oracle binary files and Oracle configuration files on a shared file system. The following shared file systems are supported:

• The Sun StorageTek QFS shared file system

• The cluster file system

• A file system on a qualified NAS device

If you are installing the Oracle binary files and Oracle configuration files on a shared file system, specify the absolute paths to the file system when the Oracle installation tool requests this information. Do not use a symbolic link whose target is the shared file system.
