Hi Experts,
While checking the inventory details in my database, I got the error below:
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
$ ./opatch lsinventory
Invoking OPatch 11.2.0.1.7
Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 11.2.0.1.7

Oracle Home : /mnt/TSTapps/oracle/trctstdb/11.2.0/dbhome_1
Central Inventory : /etc/oracle/oraInventory
from : /etc/oraInst.loc
OPatch version : 11.2.0.1.7

OPatch failed to locate Central Inventory.
Possible causes are:
The Central Inventory is corrupted
The oraInst.loc file specified is not valid.
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
I checked oraInst.loc to see the location of global inventory,
# cat /etc/oraInst.loc
inventory_loc=/etc/oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=dba
I rename the corrupted global oraInventory with a different name
cd /etc/oracle
mv oraInventory oraInventory.ori
With the help of Doc ID 295185.1, i tried to recreate the global inventory.
I DL patch p5035661_11i_LINUX.zip, while trying to apply the patch it gives me this error:

Download the OUI patch again and unzip if the file is missing.
Note: I have downloaded this patch thrice and tried the same thing, but same error occur always. Can you please show some light on this issue. Please let me know if you need some information from my end.
