I found the production inventory location in the file above. Corrected the inventory location in the test server in the file below.

bash-3.2$ find ./ -name '*ora*.loc'
$RUN_FS/EBSapps/10.1.2/oraInst.loc

You can also do the below,

Change All orinst.loc
mv /var/opt/oracle/oraInventory  /var/opt/oracle/oraInventory.org
Remove all files under /tmp
Re-run adcfclone
