Is it possible that other oracle installations have been done with /oracle as inventory location?
Is there another inventory location specifically for your 920_64 installation? We have had similar issues with Opatch and as a consequence, we are now putting inventory location inside ORACLE_HOME. In your case, that would be /oracle/DV2/920_64/oraInventory. You then have to point the oraInst.loc to that location. In this way, provided that the oraInst.loc file is correct, your inventories will not collide or get clobbered.
