oracle怎么删除目录对象,不要随意删除oracle中的目录或文件

今天给oracle打patch时遇到个问题，oracle版本为10204，报错内容如下：

OPatchSession cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home /app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1. Possible causes are:

No read or write permission to ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage

Central Inventory is locked by another OUI instance

No read permission to Central Inventory

The lock file exists in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage

The Oracle Home does not exist in Central Inventory

UtilSession failed: OracleHomeInventory gets null oracleHomeInfo

OPatch failed with error code 73

查看权限和oracle home的设置均没有问题，所以问题应该出在Central Inventory上，于是输入下面命令：

opatch lsinventory -detail

发生如下报错：

Inventory load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home.Possible causes are:

Oracle Home dir. path does not exist in Central Inventory

Oracle Home is a symbolic link

Oracle Home inventory is corrupted

LsInventorySession failed: OracleHomeInventory gets null oracleHomeInfo

OPatch failed with error code 73

可以看出提示oracle home在Central Inventory中不存在，Central Inventory记录了Oracle安装的所有组件，进入Central Inventory，发现这些信息均不存在。询问后得知，oracle在装好后这个目录就被删除了，所以就无法更新和打补丁了。[@more@]

修复方法：

./runInstaller -silent -attachHome -invPtrLoc ./oraInst.loc

ORACLE_HOME="" ORACLE_HOME_NAME=""

CLUSTER_NODES="" LOCAL_NODE=""

oracle重建Central Inventory后，补丁可以正常运行了。这个事件告诉我千万不要随意删除oracle下的目录或文件，幸好这次只是在测试库上出现，并且上述的情况还能修复。如果遇到不能修复的又是生产库，那后果。。。。。。
