Hi Hrishy,

I just noticed something on the db environment (as you can probably tell, I did not set up this RAC cluster). On both nodes in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

Node 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 9 Dec 14 11:18 orapwbof212 -> orapwbof2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 9 Dec 14 11:18 orapwbof21 -> orapwbof2

Node 2
-rw-r----- 2 oracle dba 1536 Mar 12 15:57 orapwbof212
-rw-r----- 2 oracle dba 1536 Mar 12 15:57 orapwbof2

Now as you can see obviously the set up is a bit weird and i not sure why on node 1 the password file is called bof212 when the actual instance is bof211. I also need to say that the application has been designed so that it accesses node bof212 ( to be honest there is no need for the RAC config as node 1 is redundant but i need its logs in order to synch the standby!). How can i tell which password file is being used?

Thanks in advance
