JVMDUMP013I Processed Dump Event "gpf", detail ""

PROBLEM:

When you run $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory you get some error on AIX just like below:

List of Homes on this system:

Inventory load failed... OPatch cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home.
Possible causes are:
   Oracle Home dir. path does not exist in Central Inventory
   Oracle Home is a symbolic link
   Oracle Home inventory is corrupted
LsInventorySession failed: OracleHomeInventory gets null oracleHomeInfo

OPatch failed with error code 73

This error says that you have central inventory.You have to create central inventory.
But first you have to export JAVA_COMPILER.If you create central inventory without export JAVA_COMPILER=NONE you get this error below:

JVMDUMP013I Processed Dump Event "gpf", detail "".


SOLUTION:

export JAVA_COMPILER=NONE
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
./runInstaller -silent -attachHome -invPtrLoc /etc/oraInst.loc ORACLE_HOME="<ORACLE_HOME_PATH>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<ORACLE_HOME_NAME>"

note:<ORACLE_HOME_NAME> is label.It is not important,you can give a name which you want



Output:
