Central Inventory location is determined by oraInst.loc located in:
  • HP/Solaris /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
  • Linux /etc/oraInst.loc
  • Windows \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\inst_loc
To check if all oracle homes are registered within the Central Inventory run the following command:
${ORACLE_HOME}/oui/bin/opatch lsinventory -all
Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.3.0

If you have problems while trying to attach a 9.2 home to the Central Inventory, read note 457457.1
To manual load the updated inventory to the OEM, use the command:
emctl control agent runCollection:host Inventory
To remove incorrect oracle home ftom the Central Inventory, run the command:
${ORACLE_HOME}/oui/bin/runInstaller -silent -detachHome ORACLE_HOME="oracle home location" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="a name"
