檢視Oracle目錄許可權及ORACLE_HOME 設定 ， 都正確。  執行  opatch   lsinventory  -detail  檢視：

此時，如果是windows系統， 我們需要安裝metalink Doc ID 556834.1來重建oraInventory（Central Inventory）。

對於類unix系統，我們只需很簡單的執行如下命令重建即可（注意替換你自己的ORACLE_HOME和ORACLE_HOME_NAME）：

> ./runInstaller -silent -ignoreSysPrereqs -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="/export/home/oracle/products/10203" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="home1"
Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

No pre-requisite checks found in oraparam.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed.

>>> Ignoring required pre-requisite failures. Continuing...

The inventory pointer is located at /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
The inventory is located at /export/home/oracle/products/10203/oraInventory
'AttachHome' was successful.

    在以上兩個錯誤解決之後（或者你根本就沒遇到），opatch lsinventory 可以正確看到當前binary已經安裝了哪些patch。

其實還有一種辦法，前提是你從來只是安裝patch，沒有rollback過patch，那麼你可以 cd $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage ，然後ls -altr檢視所有的patch。

但是如果你rollback了一個patch，用這種辦法還是會看到這個patch，所以，最好的辦法還是透過opatch lsinventory來檢視。

    下面以我在10203環境中打patch 7706062為例：

1.在metalink上下載patch p7706062_10203_SOLARIS64.zip

2.unzip p7706062_10203_SOLARIS64.zip

3.cd 7706062

4.$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply（注意，在停掉所有使用當前binary的之後再進行）

此時，我們遇到問題：

“

Patch(es) 5605370 conflict with the patch currently being installed (7706062).

If you continue, patch(es) 5605370 will be rolled back and the new patch (7706062) will be installed.

If a merge of the new patch (7706062) and the conflicting patch(es) (5605370) is required, contact Oracle Support Services and request a Merged patch.

”

因為兩個patch衝突，所以要麼2選1，要麼找oracle請求一個merged patch。（你自己選擇。。。）

這裡我強行安裝patch 7706062會導致patch 5605370 rollback.

5.如果你後悔了，也可以rollback這個patch：

$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch rollback -id 7706062

並且記得重新安裝前面被rollback的patch 5605370 。
