Hi,

When want to detach oracle _home:

$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -detachHome ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME

Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Checking swap space: must be greater than 500 MB.   Actual 20480 MB    Passed

The inventory pointer is located at /etc/oraInst.loc

The inventory is located at /u01/product/oracle/distrib/ora11204/0116/db/inventory

The Oracle home '/u01/product/oracle/distrib/ora11204/0116/db' could not be updated as it does not exist.
