Hi All,

My database - Version : 9.2.0.4.0 Production 64Bit
latest patch applied : Alert 64
Operating System : Sunsolaris 8.
do we have development : Yes
Dev server/database Structure: Similar structure as in Production.
including directories in OS level...
Cluster environment :Yes.

Cause:
REcently SAs reconfigured the file systems in Production and My another DBA gave a config plan to rebuilt by spliting the
/u01 file systems to
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0 and
/u01/app/oracle/admin/SID.
Everything went fine. database came up all said operation success.

Problem:
Yes As you are guessing OraInventory and oui directories are missing from /u01/app/oracle.
I checked with the backup team...retension period is 30days. So no backup because it happened 45 days ago. Thats is ruled out...to restore them.
Now I must apply the alert 68 patch to this server. It was done successfully in Dev box. We also noticed this issue only while preparing for that 68 patch.

ANy idea what to do?. Oracle is not giving any firm solution...what every I say..oracle says try....any expert opinion..

I feel to copy the OraInventory directory from dev box to production box and try applying 68. Even if it say already applied then use force option to apply this alert 68 patch. What you guys thinking about it. Appreciate your help please.
Thanks,
