Oracle Database 11g: Administration I — Question 27

Which two are true about the Inventory directory? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It should be created before installing Oracle software for the first time on a server
• B. It is shared by all Oracle software installations on a single server
• C. It is required only for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database software installations
• D. It is owned by the oinstall group, which must be created before installing Oracle software for the first time on a server
• E. It can be created only if the ORACLE_BASE environment variable is set

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because the Inventory directory is indeed shared among all Oracle software installations on a single server. Option D is also right since it is owned by the oinstall group, which must be created before the initial installation. The other options are incorrect as they either state requirements that aren't necessary for all installations or misrepresent the conditions for creating the directory.
