Do not use pwcreate to create a new Oracle ASM password file when Oracle ASM is configured in a clus

The following is from 21c documentation but the same statement is also in older documentation:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/21/ostmg/asmcmd-instance-commands.html#GUID-657284FD-EC25-46FB-A47B-730BF4BD9960

"Do not use pwcreate to create a new Oracle ASM password file when Oracle ASM is configured in a cluster. If the Oracle ASM password file is inaccessible in a cluster configuration, you must restore the password file using an available backup rather than create a new file. For articles about recreating a shared Oracle ASM password file in a cluster, such as document 1929673.1"

What does that mean? Almost everybody uses ASM as storage for RAC. If we don't use pwcreate, what do we use? credverify/credfix?

Howdy, Stranger!
