About the location of ORACLE


		< Previous \| TOC \| Index \| Next >

Before installing Oracle binaries (ORACLE_HOME), consider these points:

Local installations provide a comfort level using traditional installation methods and the possibility of improved protection against a single point of failure.
CFS installations provide a single Oracle installation to manage, regardless of number of nodes. This scenario offers a necessary reduction in storage requirements and easy addition of nodes.

Select the location based on your high availability requirements. Symantec generally recommends using local installations.
