ODA prepatch fails with DCS-10255 "Lock on central inventory detected" but no lock exists

in Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi all,

I’m facing an issue during ODA GI patch prechecks and would appreciate any insights.

Environment:

- Oracle Database Appliance (ODA)

- GI version: 19.28.0.0.0

- Target version: 19.30.0.0.0

Problem:

Running prechecks via: odacli create-prepatchreport -v 19.30.0.0.0 -gi

consistently results in: Validate patching locks -> FAILED DCS-10255 - Lock on central inventory detected: /u01/app/oraInventory/locks

However:

- The directory /u01/app/oraInventory/locks is empty

- No inventory.lock file exists

- No processes are using the directory (lsof/fuser clean)

- No shell is running in that directoryAdditional checks performed:

- Recreated locks directory from scratch

- Ensured ownership is grid:oinstall and permissions 770

- Restarted DCS agent (initdcsagent)

Howdy, Stranger!
