Your Oracle base will handle the OraInventory just fine. Rename your existing oraInst.loc to something like oraInst.817.loc and let the install create a new one for your 9i stuff.

List,

This weekend I am going to install 9iRel2 32-bit on a Sun Solaris 8 box that is running 8i just fine. My question is: How do I handle the oraInst.loc file and the oraInventory directory so they don't get corrupted? Since I am using a different ORACLE_BASE does that do the job? Such as:
/950/oracle/oraInventory and say
 /951/oracle/oraInventory?

What about the oraInst.loc? Because that stays in the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc.
