Hi All,

I'm trying to upgrade my RAC database from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 & am getting the following message after launching OUI

"Central Inventory '/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory' is on a shared drive. Each node 'lbdbora1, lbdbora2' should have its own central Inventory. Central Inventory cannot be shared, this is not supported".

My central Inventory is definitely not on a shared drive. Each of the nodes has a separate central inventory located on the path shown above.

Can anyone tell me why i'm getting this error message & how it can be corrected?



Thanks,

divroro12

You need to help us by following the Posting Guidelines as stated below.
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/
Go to the URL above click the link "Posting Guidelines"
Go to the section labeled "Practice" & do as directed.

Oracle is correct more often than it is wrong.
Without conclusive proof to the contrary, I'll trust Oracle to better report reality than you.

If you know Oracle to be behaving incorrectly, then submit a bug report via MetaLink.

I checked this document, but it doesn't apply to me. My OraInventory is not on a shared drive.

As per your update you have shared inventory.

Before doing patch installation set proper ORACLE_HOME or CRS_HOME

Thanks
