OraInventory- Installer asks for new inventory location while one already exist.

[Faraz]

Hi all,
I just installed OEM Grid Control using the new database option. every
thing looks good. OMS, database and agents all are up arn running and
every thing seems like a good installation.
When i try to upgrade it 10.2.0.3 installer does not recognize the
OraInventory and asks for the new location for the inventory location,
which essentially means I can not upgrade as it does no show me any
installed products.
Interestingly when i used Opatch to apply a patch it found the
OraInventory and Opatch was successful.
What am i missing? what could be the potential reason and any
solution?
thanks for athe help.

What is your platform and does the oraInst.loc (usually in /etc or
/var/opt/oracle) point to the correct location of your oraInventory?

And if not, you do realize you can specify another one by using
the -invPtrLoc option?

More options available by running with the -help option.
A copy of the installer should be in $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin:
$ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin/runInstaller -help
