The Grid and how it is stored on disk

Each instance of a grid has a folder on disk on each host that is part of that grid instance. This folder is called a grid configuration area. It contains the runtime artifacts of the grid, configuration data, and the applications deployed to that host.

The configuration area is located within grid_root_installation_path.

When looking within a configuration area, you will find a set of subfolders, some of which are:

• grid/applications: All applications that are deployed in this host will reside here in a subfolder of their own
• config: Configuration data used by the grid
• grid/log: Log files from all application grid nodes running on this host
