Run the following command to change the location where OCR creates backups:
ocrconfig -backuploc file_name
The file_name variable in the preceding command can be a full directory path name that is accessible by all nodes, or it can be an Oracle ASM disk group that is mounted on all nodes. You must migrate OCR to Oracle ASM before changing the OCR backup location to an Oracle ASM disk group. You can change the OCR backup location to an Oracle ASM disk group only if there is at least one Oracle ASM OCR location in a separate disk group.
For example, to specify an OCR backup location in a directory:
# ocrconfig -backuploc Grid_home/cdata/cluster3
To specify an OCR backup location in an Oracle ASM disk group:
# ocrconfig –backuploc +bkupdg
Note:
On Linux and UNIX systems, you must be root user to run most but not all of the ocrconfig command options. On Windows systems, the user must be a member of the Administrator's group.
