I think it's a known, documented issue that the rootpre.sh doesn't exist
with the AIX patchsets even though you are instructed to run it.  The
answer we were given from support was that it doesn't really need to be
run again since it should have been executed already at install time.
If you search Metalink for "rootpre.sh AIX", you'll get some hits with
the details.
 
I'm not sure what to do about your missing ORACLE_HOME though.  I don't
know where the OUI looks for those, but I'd guess it's either
/etc/oratab or maybe somewhere in the oraInventory directory.
 
Regards,
Brandon
