Or run the alter user statement on all nodes… Stephan Uzzell From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of TESTAJ3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, 17 March, 2011 14:03 To: JC1706@xxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: 11g RAC orapw file issue- RAC nodes not updated Yes standard operation. Don't change sys password unless you want to copy the orapwd file to all of the nodes every time you change it. joe _______________________________________ Joe Testa, Oracle Certified Professional Senior Engineering & Administration Lead (Work) 614-677-1668 (Cell) 614-312-6715 From: "CRISLER, JON A (ATTCORP)" <JC1706@xxxxxxx> To: <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 03/17/2011 01:42 PM Subject: 11g RAC orapw file issue- RAC nodes not updated Sent by: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ________________________________ Has anybody run into this problem before ? 11g R2 Grid home, 11g R1 RDBMS home, 5 node RAC cluster with DataGuard to anther RAC cluster. Default user profile has a pw expiration. I run "alter user sys identified by xxxx" to update pw, same for system. Local machine is fine but the other nodes on the local RAC cluster do not get their "orapwd" files updated, so DG starts to misbehave. Keep in mind, I am aware of orapwd problems with remote DG issues, but this is for the local orapwd on the local cluster. ?? Each node has its own $ORACLE_HOME. Is this a bug ? I have never run into this issue before with 10g RAC. i0zX+‑n{+i^
