I did promise to report back, so here it is.
The use of symbolic links to redirect storage from default directories worked fine. I was even able to do this midstream when the Universal Installer complained about insufficient disk space. $ORACLE_BASE/jre, $ORACLE_BASE/oui, $ORACLE_BASE/tmp, /tmp/OraInstall and /oracle/stage/817_64 were all redirected using symbolic links and the 8.1.7 upgrade completed successfully. Mike -----Original Message----- Environment: Tru64 V5.1 on Alpha 4100/8100 ORA 8.0.6 I have upgraded our sandbox system to 8.1.7.2 last month, and will be upgrading several other machines shortly. The problem is the stage & ORACLE_HOME mount points have insufficient disk space and our systems folks have told me that it will be very difficult to add any more space to these mount points. There are other mount points that currently have enough space, so my questions are, has anyone done a 8i/UNIX install/upgrade from a directory other than under /oracle/stage, or used a symbolic link to download the CD's contents to another directory? Or broken out the ORACLE_HOME subdirectories onto more than one mount point? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
