opatch命令报错Inventory is corrupted

测试环境中执行opatch报错，简单描述一下解决过程。

错误信息如下：

[orat3@hpserver2 OPatch]$ ./opatch lsinventory

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

根据错误信息可以判断，Inventory的设置有误：/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory目录已经不存在了。问题出在oraInst.loc文件上，而提示信息也显示，当前操作是从/etc/oraInst.loc中获取信息。

由于这是测试环境，对数据库的ORACLE_HOME以及ORACLE_BASE都进行过迁移，因此opatch命令尝试找一个不存在的Inventory时报错。

找到/etc/oraInst.loc，将其指向一个正确的目录：

[root@hpserver2 ~]# cd /etc/
[root@hpserver2 etc]# vi oraInst.loc

inventory_loc=/t0/orat0/app/oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=oinstall

将oraInst中inventory指向正确的位置后，再次运行opatch命令：

[orat3@hpserver2 OPatch]$ ./opatch lsinventory

   Oracle Home dir. path does not exist in Central Inventory
   Oracle Home is a symbolic link
   Oracle Home inventory is corrupted

OPatch failed with error code 73

虽然还有错误，但是错误信息已经发生了变化。检查列出信息中当前的ORACLE_HOME设置，发现配置有误：

[root@hpserver2 ~]# su - orat0
[orat0@hpserver2 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_BASE
[orat0@hpserver2 oracle]$ cd oraInventory/
[orat0@hpserver2 oraInventory]$ cd ContentsXML/
[orat0@hpserver2 ContentsXML]$ vi inventory.xml

   2.1.0.6.0

"inventory.xml" 18L, 786C written                                                                                                         

将XML文件中ORACLE_HOME的配置修改正确后，再次运行opatch，问题解决：
