2.3 Shared Storage and Recommended Directory Structure

This following section details the directories and directory structure that Oracle recommends for the reference enterprise deployment topology in this guide. Other directory layouts are possible and supported, but the model adopted in this guide was chosen for maximum availability, providing both the best isolation of components and symmetry in the configuration and facilitating backup and disaster recovery. The rest of the document uses this directory structure and directory terminology. This section covers these topics: ■ Section 2.3.1, Terminology for Directories and Directory Environment Variables ■ Section 2.3.2, Recommended Locations for the Different Directories ■ Section 2.3.3, Shared Storage Configuration

2.3.1 Terminology for Directories and Directory Environment Variables

This enterprise deployment guide uses the following references to directory locations: ■ ORACLE_BASE: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the base directory under which Oracle products are installed. ■ MW_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the location where Fusion Middleware FMW resides. ■ WL_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path contains installed files necessary to host a WebLogic Server. ■ ORACLE_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the location where Oracle Fusion Middleware SOA Suite or Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite is installed. ■ ORACLE_COMMON_HOME: This environment variable and related directory path refers to the Oracle home that contains the binary and library files required for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control and Java Required Files JRF.

Different WLS Servers can use different domain directories even when in the same node. ■ ORACLE_INSTANCE: An Oracle instance contains one or more system components, such as Oracle Web Cache, Oracle HTTP Server, or Oracle Internet Directory. An Oracle instance directory contains updatable files, such as configuration files, log files, and temporary files.
