How to Recreate the OraInventory

How can I recreate the OraInventory if it gets corrupted or removed?

Solution

In cases where the OraInventory is missing or otherwise corrupt, recreate the


oraInventory directory on UNIX systems, using the following steps. In a normal
installation, there is a Global Inventory (OraInventory) and a Local Inventory
($ORACLE_HOME/inventory).

Locate the oraInst.loc file, which may be in different locations, depending on your
system:

/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc file

or

/etc/oraInst.loc

Modify the file oraInst.loc file:

cp /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc.bak

mkdir /u01/oracle/oraInventory

---file contents---

inventory_loc=/u01/oracle/oraInventory

inst_group=oinstall

---file contents---
Important:

Theses example uses a typical directory, considered an $ORACLE_BASE, and a


typical UNIX group which installed the Oracle products. Ensure that the correct
values are used for your system.

The oraInventory directory is usually a directory under the $ORACLE_HOME. For


example, if the $ORACLE_HOME is equal to "/u01/oracle/product/10g", then the
OraInventory could be "/u01/oracle/OraInventory".

Change the permissions to be appropriate, (using your directory location):

chmod 644 /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc

For consistency, copy the file to Oracle home directory, (using your directory
location):

cp $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc.bak

cp /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc

Run Oracle Universal Installer from your Oracle home as below, (using your site
specific directory location and Oracle home name):

cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin

./runInstaller -silent -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="/u01/oracle/product/10.2"


ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora10gHome"

Check the inventory output is correct for your Oracle home:

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail

If the table at the beginning of the output is showing the proper directories, and
the Oracle home components are properly reflected in the details, then the Global
Inventory has been successfully created from the Local Inventory. At this time, you
may patch an maintain your Oracle home, as normal.
