I have a question about the disk space on page 13 of the oracle upgrade
guide to 9.2 for HPUX. The document that i am referring is version
1.10, December 18 2002.
1) $ORACLE_HOME 3000MB mounted on /oracle/DEV
2) /oracle/stage 3000MB mounted on /
3) /oracle 500MB mounted on /
4) /tmp 400MB mounted on /tmp
My understanding is that the above refers to filesystems instead of
directories?
a) i have a different filesystem foreach different version
of /oracle/stage.On page 18, I was instructed to
create /oracle/stage/920_64. According to my system structure, i should
create this as a new filesystem instead of seating on (2) as above
which is on root filesystem
b) /oracle is on root filesystem too and should i increase as
instructed?
c) Need your clarification as these two directories are now residing in
my root filesystem. Currently, there are data, directories, etc in both
/oracle and /oracle/stage. If i were to create /oracle
and /oracle/stage filesystems respectively for them and mount them
accordingly, wont i stand a risk of losing data?
d) From the installation guides, it states that a 500MB free space in
the /oracle directory is needed for the following oracle softwares
1) Universal Installer
2) Online Documentation
3) Java Runtime
4) client software
For the /oracle/stage increase of space, the space is allocated for the
instructions on page 18 for the "/oracle/stage/920_64". If so, then we
can create a filesystem for /oracle/stage/920_64 instead of letting it
residing in root
Please advise
