Information in this document applies to any platform.
SYMPTOMS
You are attempting to do a silent install of Database 11.2.0 and receive an error similar to the following...
[FATAL] [INS-32035] Unable to create a new central inventory at the specified location.
CAUSE: The central inventory location provided is not empty.
ACTION: Please provide another location for the inventory, or clean up the current location.
CHANGES
An interactive GUI install works fine, but silent install fails with INS-32035 error. You are using a response file OR passing the parameters on the command line to runInstaller.
CAUSE
There is an 11.2.0 bug with silent install, bug 9015869, when the parameter INVENTORY_LOCATION is used to override the default location.
SOLUTION
To resolve the issue, ensure you have a valid oraInst.loc file (/ etc/oraInst.loc or / var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc depending on your OS platform) and omit the INVENTORY_LOCATION parameter from the command line or response file. For example, if you were using a command similar to the following...
. / runInstaller-silent-debug-force\
FROM_LOCATION=/stage/products.xml\
Oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY\
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall\
INVENTORY_LOCATION=/u01/app/oraInventory\
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1\
ORACLE_HOME_NAME= "OraDb11g_Home1"\
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle\
Oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE\
Oracle.install.db.isCustomInstall=false\
Oracle.install.db.DBA_GROUP=dba\
Oracle.install.db.OPER_GROUP=dba\
DECLINE_SECURITY_UPDATES=true
... then modify the command to...
. / runInstaller-silent-debug-force\
FROM_LOCATION=/stage/products.xml\
Oracle.install.option=INSTALL_DB_SWONLY\
UNIX_GROUP_NAME=oinstall\
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1\
ORACLE_HOME_NAME= "OraDb11g_Home1"\
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle\
Oracle.install.db.InstallEdition=EE\
Oracle.install.db.isCustomInstall=false\
Oracle.install.db.DBA_GROUP=dba\
Oracle.install.db.OPER_GROUP=dba\
