Preparing to Install Sun Cluster HA for Oracle

Before you install the Sun Cluster HA for Oracle data service, select an install location for the following files.

• Oracle application files - These files include Oracle binaries, configuration files, and parameter files. You can install these files on either the local file system or on the cluster file system.

  See "Determining the Location of the Application Binaries" for the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Oracle binaries on the local file system as opposed to the cluster file system.

• Database-related files - These files include the control file, redo logs, and data files. You must install these files on the cluster file system as either raw devices or regular files.
