Oracle 12c DB, RAC , using ASM to store the Keystore, I see issues

User_XEAE4Feb 17 2017 — edited Feb 21 2017

Folks,

I am running , Oracle 12c db (12.1.0.2), RAC database.

I am using ASM to store the Keystore, so it can be shared by all the 4 DB instances.

However I saw the following note from Oracle

Cannot open wallet from local filesystem after cp from ASM with asmcd (Doc ID 2085607.1)

This can be a major issue, to take a backup of the keystore and store it offline, since the normal cp command to copy

Keystore in ASM, will corrupt the Keystore. (Above note).

Also for cloning database, since we will need to copy the Keystore from the Source db to the target db.

-----

1) I am curious to find out, how are other folks who are using ASM, overcoming these issues ?

2) also since we are running RAC, I don't want to create the Keystore in the regular file system, since it cannot be shared between instances etc and will have to be manually copied etc between file system etc (hassle ), what is the other way to implement this solution.

Thanks,

Ashish
