Directory Structures for Oracle RAC
Review this topic to understand the hierarchical directory tree of a sample Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA)-compliant database for Oracle RAC.
Table B-1 Directory Structure for A Sample OFA-Compliant Environment

The default

|
Type of installation under the Oracle base directory. For example, when installing Oracle Database 19c , the value for installation type is
|
|
The location in which the Oracle Database software is installed. You can also choose to add a counter, if you have multiple installations of the software. For example, if you are creating a second Oracle home for the Oracle Database 19c software, then the path is as follows:
Note that the Oracle database home is under the Oracle base directory path. An Oracle Clusterware directory must not be under the Oracle base directory path where the database executable files are located. |
|
The directory in which the local initialization parameter file is stored for the database. |
|
The administrative directory. Note that with Oracle Database 11g,

The database unique name; this is the same as /u01/app/oracle/admin/sales |
|
The dump destinations for database server. |
|
Automatic Diagnostic Repository dump destination trace files. Note that this directory path is set by the initialization parameter By default, this path is a subset of the Oracle base directory, in the following path:

Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster home (Grid home) |
An OFA-compliant path for the Oracle Clusterware home. The default value is:
During the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster installation, Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) software is installed. The |

The subtree for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM executable files. |
|
The subtree for Oracle Net Services configuration files and utilities. |
