Well, since nobody else has jumped on this...

Not unless you have some peculiar situation there.  Use separate ORACLE_HOME
for each version of Oracle but not each database.

The separate ORACLE_HOME for each version takes care of this.  You just
change the ORACLE_HOME in the oratab when you upgrade the database.  If you
use environment setting scripts, have them grab the correct ORACLE_HOME from
the oratab.

something like:

export ORACLE_HOME=`/usr/bin/nawk -F: '$1 == SID {print $2}'
SID="$ORACLE_SID" "$ORATAB"`

where ORATAB is the path to your oratab file.


Sorry, I got no opinions on your storage arrangement.
