Hi,
I have to install 9.2.0.1 on solaris 9. I need to know what directories I need to create before the installation. I have only made directory for Oraclehome/ora92/oracle/product/9.2.0. Do I have to make directory for oraInventory in ora92/oracle? also do I have to make directory for jre & oui in ora92/oracle prior to the installation?? I know this is a simple or lame question. I looked in all the installation guides and this is not said in any of them.. I installed the same version in the test server, and I didnt create directories for oraInventory,jre,oui prior to Installation and I dont see these folders after the installation. I dont know if i am missing something here. Please advise.
Thank you.

It did not get any error when I installed in the test server.
But I see in the other servers there are folders like oraInventory,jre,oui in the location /ora92/oracle, which I dont see in the test server where i installed 9.2.0.1. So I am confused if I have to create those directories prior to Installation. I am precautious since I have to install in the production server.

Hi,
you can check orainst.loc file for orainventory location.
/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
Locating the Inventory on UNIX
At startup, the Oracle Universal Installer first looks for the following file: var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
If this value is found, it will be used as the inventory location. If the value is not found, the inventory path is created as follows:
ORACLE_BASE\oraInventory
If the ORACLE_BASE environment variable is not defined, the inventory is created at the same level as the first Oracle home. For example, if your first Oracle home is at /private/ORACLEHome1, then, the inventory is at /private/oraInventory.
If the Oracle Universal Installer is unable to create an inventory directory at these locations, it prompts you with a locations dialog.
Clicking the Save As button pops up a File browse dialog to accept a file name. The inventory as seen in the inventory tree will be logged into this file as text.
"If the oraInventory is missing or does not match the installed software, then problems can occur when you attempt to add a new product, upgrade, migrate, or apply a patchset."

Hi Taj,
I just installed 9.2.0.1 on solaris in production. I did export ORACLE_BASE as /ora92/oracle prior to the installation.
I did not create directory for oraInventory.
But still the files under oraInventory has been placed in the old oracle base... I dont know if this will cause any problem in future. Please give me your suggestions..
