Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Upgrade Question
FWIW : Here is what we have been doing to keep a tab on this oraInventory
stuff and make 8.1.6, 8.1.7, 9.0.1 releases work on the same server with
their respective patches etc.
Also, we create the 'oui' directory within the respective ORACLE_HOME. We let the Java VM stuff take Oracle's defaults.
This process adds more work in the steps while applying patch sets. And we do need to *remember* to follow this process. But is has been working fine without any problems.
We came up with this process when our patching of 8.1.6.2 aborted for some reason, but it left the oraInventory directory in a corrupted state and prevented me from re-running the patching process. Per Oracle Support, the corruption in oraInventory directory structures is irreparable, and I had to install 8.1.6.0 and start again.
Hope this helps...
Regards,

There isn't a separate orainventory for each ORACLE_HOME. A single
orainst.loc file defines where orainventory is located, and the
Not necessarily (and not recommended). It is very easy to setup an
orainventory file for each
installation. Check metalink for details.
