Installation Directories and Oracle Inventory

Ensure that the installation directories where you plan to provision the Oracle Products are clean. As per Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) standards, Oracle base directory should be available in the following path:

/mount_point/app/oracle_sw_owner

Where, mount_point is the mount point directory for the file system that will contain the Oracle software.

Note:

Ensure that the user performing the installation has write access on the mount points. To verify that the user has the required permissions, run the following command:

chown -R oracle:oinstall <mount point>

For example:

If the permission is denied while mounting:

[root@node2-pub ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/test

[root@node2-pub ~]# permission denied

To resolve the permission issue, run the following command:

[root@node2-pub root]# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01
