Johannes, by default Oracle looks for the init.ora and spfile in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs (UNIX) directory so if you really need to move these and do not want to have to use the pfile or spfile parameters on the startup command then you will need to re-install Oracle onto the cluster disk.

If you are going to run the database on clustered disk then you probably want the binary on clustered disk anyway.
