Inventory is the index for the oracle installation. All the details about the ORACLE_HOME including different utility versions, patch details etc. If you do a fresh Oracle installation the inventory will be updated. But if you copy the ORACLE binaries from some other location and if you are not updating the inventory, we cannot read the inventory using opatch utility.
It will give error. Here I am showing the steps to fix the oracle inventory. Please see.
It will give error. Here I am showing the steps to fix the oracle inventory. Please see.
Step 1: checking the inventory of a corrupted database using opatch lsinventory utility and the result is an error.
$ /oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -invPtrLoc ./oraInst.loc

List of Homes on this system:
Inventory load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home.
Possible causes are:
Oracle Home dir. path does not exist in Central Inventory
Oracle Home is a symbolic link
Oracle Home inventory is corrupted
LsInventorySession failed: OracleHomeInventory gets null oracleHomeInfo
OPatch failed with error code 73
oracle@prodserv(230) milprod /oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0
Step 2
For safer side take a backup or move the current inventory to a new location.
mv -i inventory inventory.old
Step 3
Create a oraInst.loc (if not present already) file with following content in ORACLE_HOME directory
inventory_loc=/oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0/inventory
inst_group=dba
Step 4
Run the following command to fix the inventory in Unix prompt from ORACLE_HOME direcotry
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc "/oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0/oraInst.loc" -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="/oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDb11g_home"
$ ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -silent -invPtrLoc "/oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0/oraInst.loc" -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="/oracle/milprod/oracle/product/11.1.0" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="OraDb11g_home"

Now your corrupted Oracle inventory is fixed. Once again you check your inventory with opatch command.
