Missing inventory when no oraInst.loc
Just noticed on one system after installation user oracle was not added to allowed users.

During installation following message was printed:
"
Discovery could not find inventory location on <hostname> from environment.

Turned out the culprit was missing /etc/oraInst.loc file.
Fixing this revealed another issue - TFA installer picked perl from first ORACLE HOME in inventory, which happened to be old 11.1.0 db with perl 5.8.3...(Can't locate strict.pm in
