orapw+ASM naming convention

in Database - RAC/Scalability (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello,

I have installed 2 Oracle RAC with ASM(4 linux server and 2 linux server) during both installation the ASM password file has been created as "orapw+ASM" filename in all servers.

This file is automatically created by Oracle script.

Why into all servers the filename is the same? the Oracle manual explain that the naming convention has to be orapwORACLE_SID so the expectation was different filename as: orapw+ASM1.orapw+ASM2, etc...

In the official documentation I didn't find any explanation how this file is used by Oracle ASM or RAC Services

Can it be renamed as orapw+ASM1 etc... without any impact?

Howdy, Stranger!
