What is the difference between pwcopy and cp in asmcmd ?

in Database Utilities (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

I tried this in Oracle RAC 19c on Oracle Linux 8.3

I used asmcmd tool to copy the password file from ASM to OS filesystem. But after the command runs it returns nothing to the standart output, no errors, nothing, and it doesn't copy the pwfile.

If I use cp it works, but I don't I assume there is a reason why there is a pwcopy command, so there must be some differences between cp and pwcopy.

Does anybody know, what is the difference between the ASM pwcopy and the ASM cp command ?

Howdy, Stranger!
