Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Do I need to have ORAPWD files as user Oracle in 4 Node RAC

Nov 21, 2022 4:49PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered ✓

We have a 19.17 4 node RAC system running on RHEL7

Currently we have orapwd files in place (in ORACLE_HOME/dbs) but have been told to remove them by security.

Are they actually required by the RAC config or can we safely remove them?

Many Thanks
