- O/S: Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bits
- Oracle RAC Database: Oracle 11.2.0.2
- 02 nodes: NodeA and NodeB.
- Each node has a local Windows account named "adminrac", which belongs to Administrator and Ora_dba groups.
- On both Windows Servers 2008, UAC was inhabilitated, so user "adminrac" can create and modify any file in any folder.
Problem:
On NodeA, I have succesfully applied patch p12714463_112020_MSWIN-x86-64. Now I try t do it on NodeB, but get errors.
First, on NodeA and NodeB I updated opatch to version: 11.2.0.1.9. I downloaded and unzipped "p6880880_112000_MSWIN-x86-64.zip" at ORACLE_HOME:
C:\app\bd\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\OPatch
Secondly, on NodeA I checked Oracle inventory with "opatch lsinventory" and was OK. Then I succesfully applied patch p12714463_112020_MSWIN-x86-64.
Now, on NodeB, I try to apply same patch and start to check Oracle inventory:
C:\app\bd\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\OPatch> opatch lsinventory
Results:

What should I do to correct this error?
I already copied "C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory" from NodeA to NodeB and reboot NodeB, but appears same error.
