And what better place to get architectural erudition than this news group ;-)
A secondary question arises methinks, if the alert logs are correctly situated, in the bdump dir under the instance they relate to. Are the instances both located in a sensible place /u04/app/oracle/admin and
/u02/oradata? And if a third instance was required, and it might be, where should it go?

It seems I have the following possibilities:

# find / -name admin | grep oracle | grep -v product

/u01/app/oracle/admin
/u02/app/oracle/admin
/u04/app/oracle/admin

# find / -name oradata

/u01/app/oracle/oradata
/u01/oradata
/u01/oradata/oradata
/u02/app/oracle/oradata
/u02/oradata
/u04/app/oracle/oradata
