Please advise if the below steps are correct while copying the ORACLE_HOME from one location to another.

Also advise if anything needs to be added to the below before we can start using the ORACLE_HOME.

Copy ORACLE_HOME from old location to new location

-bash-3.2$ cp -Rp /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ /oracledb/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/

Correct the INVENTORY.XML file to reflect the new ORACLE_HOME

-bash-3.2$ cat inventory.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- Copyright (c) 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights Reserved -->
<!-- Do not modify the contents of this file by hand. -->
<INVENTORY>
<VERSION_INFO>
<SAVED_WITH>10.2.0.1.0</SAVED_WITH>
<MINIMUM_VER>2.1.0.6.0</MINIMUM_VER>
</VERSION_INFO>
<HOME_LIST>
<HOME NAME="OraDb10g_home1" LOC="/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1" TYPE="O" IDX="1"/>
</HOME_LIST>
</INVENTORY>


-bash-3.2$ vi inventory.xml
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- Copyright (c) 2005 Oracle Corporation. All rights Reserved -->
<!-- Do not modify the contents of this file by hand. -->
<INVENTORY>
<VERSION_INFO>
<SAVED_WITH>10.2.0.1.0</SAVED_WITH>
<MINIMUM_VER>2.1.0.6.0</MINIMUM_VER>
</VERSION_INFO>
<HOME_LIST>
<HOME NAME="OraDb10g_home1" LOC="/oracledb/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1" TYPE="O" IDX="1"/>
</HOME_LIST>
</INVENTORY>
