ORACLE_HOME vs. GRID_HOME

MaryYNov 30 2016 — edited Nov 30 2016

Hello,

For the grid user in a RAC, is there any difference for the value contained in the ORACLE_HOME and GRID_HOME environment variables?

As an example, the ORACLE_HOME value for my grid user is:

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid; export ORACLE_HOME

If there is no difference, in my BASH profile (.bashrc) for the grid user, should there be an entry for both that have the same value?

Thanks for confirming,

Mary
