Reason :

As i looked into oraInst.loc i dont inst_group since runInstaller was throwing this error. after adding group in oraInst.loc i was able to fix this issue.

inventory_loc=/var/opt/oracle/oraInventory
inst_group=dba   --> Added in oraInst.loc

oraInst.loc location in solaris --> /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc

During installation there was an another error. As i looked into the logs, i figured out the below.

Reason :

inventory.xml file does not have permission. I granter proper permission to the user then re-initiated the installation. Finally 12c installation was successful.

Hope this helps.

 Please check logfile.


Go to the below location and look into the clone logs.

/d02/DEV/appltest/fs2/inst/apps/dev_ahqtest/admin/log

Please navigate into the directories below and check each error log. Since OHS generation was failing i looked into ohsT2PApply folder. You can look into the each folders to figure out the root cause of the issue.

As i looked into the ohs clone logs. i found the below,

SEVERE :  Instance "Create & Start" step  failed.

Fix :

Go into /var/tmp and remove all *.tmp and *tm* files. Error is due to the files created already by other OS user while previous clone. After removing these files i was able to run adcfgclone without any issue.

Example files,

l0068316.tmp                            oracle-dfw-183105158211537317.tmp.lck   oracle-dfw-3425756421653396373.tmp.lck  oracle-dfw-6819160851092011229.tmp.lck
