Situation
What are the specific checks made by the Oracle MO?
Resolution
The installer checks the oratab file by making this call:
cat $ORATAB_FILE \
| grep -v "^#" \
| grep -v "^*" \
| grep -i "^[A-Za-z]" \
| cut -d ":" -f2`
For each line returned, $homedir, from the above command the installer then calls these two grep commands to gather additional data about the installation directory:
grep -i db_name $homedir/dbs/*.ora
grep -i instance_name $homedir/dbs/*.ora
