I have seen at most of the places that oracle was installed in the file system /u01, /u02 etc. Someone said it is due to some security standard published in the past.
Can someone let me know what was this security standard for installing oracle or other applications in non-standard file system ?
Thanks,
Shiv

SolutionPick a name, any name. Oracle doesn't care. Actually, Oracle cares a little bit. Check out (google) OFA: Optimal Flexibile Architecture.
Pick a protection, any protection, Oracle doesn't care, but you should care.
The things that realy matter for the mount pount selection are the performance and availabilty characterics. Those had better meet the needs of the intended usage. The naming matters little or none and any requirements there can readily be resolved through (soft)links.
Hope this helps some,
Hein.

Re: Oracle installation on non-standard file systems
You can install ORACLE SW in any directory, which you prefer or have. Only take into account your future needs (patches or additional versions), which may require additional disk space. From my experience I know that it's not the best idea to build ORACLE_HOME under /usr or /var directory.

Re: Oracle installation on non-standard file systems
No problem installing oracle and having the data any place you want.
Where I last worked we used /oracle2 /oracle3 and /oracle1 for data /oracle for binaries.
It is totally up to you.

Re: Oracle installation on non-standard file systems
About the only possible security problem (for HP-UX) would be to use /usr/local using the default permissions. /usr/local should never be used for large application software packages.

Re: Oracle installation on non-standard file systems
allow me also to add the following:
It is always suggested that the Oracle File Architecture (OFA) standard be used, which would be $ORACLE_BASE/oracle. The datafiles should be placed in the subdirectory /oradata
In fact, OFA - A directory structure that allows you to easily maintain administration and upgrading tasks. The basic concept is to separate data, configuration files, and executables to allow you to run multiple versions of Oracle products.
hope this helps too!
kind regards

Re: Oracle installation on non-standard file systems
Truly i dont see amything linked to something to do with security...
We for instance use /data as mount point for all concerns about data and in order to not be stuck do no refer to names so on severs you would have /data/mnt1 mnt2 mnt3 mnt4...and when a new data file system is needed it will be of course called mnt(n+1) and the DBa will create their data structure from here such as oradata etc...
What this has interesting is for backup purpose
in the policies we just have to mention once /data/*
All the best
