Oracle EE, versions 11.2.0.4 and 12.1.0.2
I am testing and documenting the installation of 11.2.0.4 Grid
Infrastructure / ASM and then upgrading it to 12.1.0.2. Another DBA on the
team gave me instructions he used last year to upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to
11.2.0.4 as a starting point. I've had to make several changes for the 12c
upgrade, which I expected.
Question 1: His document says the grid home directory must be created by
the root user and the group changed to dba (they don't use oinstall here)
and the permissions should be 775. Is this correct? I'm new to Grid/ASM
so I'm not sure.
Question 2: Assuming the directory should be owned by root, why would that
be the case rather than owned by the oracle user?
I appreciate any direction you can provide me.
