Replacing the long pathnames for $ORACLE_HOME in the agent attributes

You must create the soft link for $ORACLE_HOME on each of the nodes in the cluster, and then modify the values for the agent attributes.

To replace the long pathnames

  1. Create a soft link to the long pathname for $ORACLE_HOME. For example:
    # ln -s /opt/apps/oracle/home/directory/is/longer/than\
/eighty/characters/oracle /opt/link_to_longpath
  2. In the file /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cf, modify the Home and the Pfile attributes for the Oracle and the Netlsnr resource types.

    For ASM, also modify these attributes for the ASMInst and the ASMDG resource types.

    For example:

    Home = "/opt/link_to_longpath"
Pfile = "/opt/link_to_longpath/dbs/initVRT.ora"
