How to remove the source node name from cloned RAC Oracle Home inventory

Problem: when running opatch lsinventory for the cloned RAC Oracle Home, the source node name was in the inventory:

Rac system comprising of multiple nodes
Local node = it-pwl-ods01
Remote node = it-pwl-ods02
Remote node = pind42

The remote node pind42 prevents patching and upgrading the Oracle Home except using -local switch for opatch apply -local and runInstaller -local.

Update following file in central inventory:
/opt/oracle/oraInventory/ContentsXML/inventory.xml

Remove the node name pind42 entry.

For local inventory in each cloned Oracle Home:
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/GOLD/inventory/ContentsXML/oraclehomeproperties.xml

Update above file and remove node name of pind42.

Check again by running opatch lsinventory.
