Good morning,

 

There are two aspects to this, I assume you are referring to the RDBMS
$ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory. This has indeed to be maintained across all
cluster nodes. The same for the DR cluster-I have a small script that
queries the OCR for all cluster members and uses the passwordless ssh
authentication to copy the script across (mental node: need to extend it to
deal with data guard :) 

 

For ASM/Grid Infrastructure, things have been simplified - have a look at
Harald van Brederode's blog:

 

http://prutser.wordpress.com/2011/01/14/clustered-asm-and-rac-password-file-
maintenance/

 

He says that for Grid Infrastructure the password file should propagate to
the local nodes. 

 

Best regards,

 

Martin Bach
