Pavan & Fernando, Thanks for your tips. I was finally able to resolve my issue and here is the summary.

I forgot to set the ORACLE_BASE variable before starting the installer from UNIX screen. Then when I set ORACLE_BASE and restarted the installer but it still didn’t create the oraInventory directory. Then I removed the oraInst.loc file and oradiag_oracle directory & files from the home directory of the oracle UNIX user and restarted installer after setting the ORACLE_BASE. This time it created the oraInventory directory under /mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle.

Not sure what exactly did the trick.

I suspect it's not missing and was created where you defined:

inventory_loc=/mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle

You should have configured it this way:

inventory_loc=/mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle/oraInventory

Try this:

$ ls -l /mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

I suspect you will find it.

From the errors, it's shows the just the warnings. So it's hard to guess work based on the inputs shared from your end. Can you go through the full log step by step, you will have information, if some thing is missing.

Pavan,

These are the errors I could see in the installation log. But didn’t see anything related to inability to create oraInventory directory.

INFO: WARNING: Unable to set the value for COLLECTOR_IGNORE_FAILURES. Error: null
INFO: WARNING: Unable to set the value for COLLECTOR_IGNORE_CONFIGURATION. Error: null
INFO: WARNING: Unable to set the value for COLLECTOR_IGNORE_FAILURES. Error: null
INFO: WARNING: Unable to set the value for COLLECTOR_IGNORE_CONFIGURATION. Error: null

Any other idea? Should I try to reinstall it?

Thanks,
Ashoke

Hi Ashoke,

Please review the installation logs,you may get the answer for your query (try to see/check for any errors, like mount point privileges or issues)

Thanks Pavan Kumar N

Subject: Missing oraInventory after Oracle 11.2.0.3 install

Hello All,

I installed Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Solaris 10 server. When installer prompted for location of oraInventory I specified as /mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle. After the installation was done I couldn’t see the oraInventory directory. But installation log was placed under /mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle/logs directory. I never experienced a missing oraInventory directory like this in past.

The content of oraInst.loc:
inventory_loc=/mspsdb146/u01/app/oracle

Any idea why the oraInventory directory was not created? Did I install incorrectly?

Thanks,
Ashoke Mandal
