How'd your inventory get fouled up? The only time I've had problems with
that is with multiple installations trying to write to the same inventory
file (because the /etc/ora<whatever> file wasn't set up right.... that was
back in the 8.1 days though.
I've never been able to clean up fouled OraInventorys... isn't Oracle's
recommendation to re-install if the inventory is hosed? You'd have some
downtime, but you should be able to remove the oracle installation and
re-install the software, then restore your initSID.ora file & come back up
using the existing data files with a nice clean inventory -- no additional
hardware required unless you need it to minimize the outage.
