-Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
-Solaris 10
I got three oracle instances installed on three symbolic links : ora01, ora02 and ora03, all on this slice or mount point /h
Every time I do ./opatch lsinventory, I get the below error:
LsInventorySession failed: OPatch failed to locate Central Inventory.
Possible causes are:
The Central Inventory is corrupted
The oraInst.loc file specified is not valid.
OPatch failed with error code 73
Now don’t rush to ask me to read the document as I have already done it and here is what I came up with:
Oracle solution - 1. Add oraInst.loc in /var/opt/oracle directory. A copy of the OraInst.loc is usually in the
$ORACLE_HOME
But reading forward, I found that this error also occur when Oracle home is a symbolic link as stated above.
In my environments all the databases with hard link, has no problem when I run the lsinventory command. I only get error in databases with soft links like I stated above.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
