I know Stefan has answered this post showing how to change the password in 11g 
(although he used SYSDBA when good practise and mandatory from 11R2 will be to 
use SYSASM).

However I don't understand the RAC reference in the original question. ASM is 
just a memory/pointer function to link the RDBMS to disk. On each RAC node the 
sys password can be different and changing it one RAC node will not have any 
impact on any other RAC node

Dear gurus,

Anyone experience such kind of work to change the sys password of an ASM 
instance?

will that affect other ASM instances in the RAC nodes also?

first come out to me is logging in as sysdba and "alter user" , of course , can 
not work,

So how about change it only via ORAPWD ? anyone experienced that before ??

then comes to another question, how to change that in 11g cause it using 
"connect / as sysasm "

Thanks a lot.
