Starting to get off-topic here, but regarding OFA, I unfortunately did not
include a 4-digit version directory in the $OH path. I will be doing that
on new servers. I also use a modified version of OFA where "/oradata" is
not under $ORACLE_BASE. I spend a fair amount of time in the command line
at some level of the "/admin" directory, whether it be scripting,
maintenance, or looking through logs. I do not want to accidentally be
anywhere near the data when I'm "rm"ing. In a related note, I also don't
care for the redo extension of ".log", which Cary has kindly explained here
in the past.
So I use a modified OFA. I hope I've been "Thinking Clearly" :) and changed
what parts of those wonderful guidelines that I determined needing changing
for my installations. I think that's part of a DBA's duties.
And now that I understand the reasoning behind the "/unn" naming in OFA
(Cary's explanation), I'll probably be stepping away from it. For this
install. Maybe not for the next one...
"It depends" :)
