I guess I wasn't very clear in the initial posting. Hangovers can be a dreadful thing..
Let's assume that I have 16 Databases on a SUN enterprise server. The architecture is to install Oracle and it's associated components all in one "container". And within this container; I'll have an $ORACLE_HOME, a database,et,etc. And each container is owned by a different account(oradb1, oradb2,oradb3,etc,etc). Think of a container as an OS domain. Yet without the overhead of the OS.. Sure, there is some differences of opinion on why to do this,etc. Not wanting to get into those discussion of merit right now. But I'm looking to find out how to isolate the oraInst.loc file for each individual container.
The idea in our environment is to be able to "lift and drop" that container to another enterprise server for one reason or the other. We select a database-and move the container to a different box. If everything is within the container; there really isn't any configuration changes to worry about because I moved a database from box A to box B. The underlying architecture at the OS level allows us to do this (storage is on the SAN, mucho brocade switches and HBA cards,etc).
Now if I want to move database JOSE on server TEQUILA to server PORCELINETHRONE-I would like to have the oraInst.loc and oratab within that container. And at one time-I thought that on SUN there was an environment variable/install option that would allow one to position those files accordingly.
So the oratab file can be handled via environment variables. No sweat there, got that one covered..But what about the oraInst.loc?
thank

Subject: RE: Oracle and SUN config question...
The quick and dirty way would be to use soft links.
Or you can change the oracle startup scripts (I think).
Might there be a line like:
ORATAB=/your/favorite/spot
in the startup/shutdown scripts??

I have a quick question..
In a SUN environment, how would one place the oratab and oraInst.loc files
within a directory that would be self-contained within the $ORACLE_BASE
directory tree instead of /var/opt/oracle????
