File Path and Directory Changes in Read-Only Oracle Homes
Examples of hierarchical file mappings in a read-only Oracle home as compared to a read/write Oracle home.
This example shows an Optimal Flexible Architecture-compliant Oracle Database installation, for the user oracle, with the ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE, ORACLE_BASE_HOME, and ORACLE_BASE_CONFIG logical locations. The database files are mounted on /u01 and the HOME_NAME is OraDB18Home1.
This example also shows the changes in the Oracle Database software defined paths of configuration files, log files, and other directories in a read-only Oracle home when compared to a read/write Oracle home.
