OS: Oracle Linux Server release 7.4
DB: Oracle RAC Database 12.2.0.1 (upgraded from 11.2.0.4)
My Oracle RAC Database which is configured with ASM successfully upgraded from 11g.
After successful upgrade I want to move ASM passwordfile from host to ASM in shared location.
Initially password location is
[oracle@testrac1 dbs]$ asmcmd pwget --asm
/u02/app/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM
I change environment variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID to enter ASM environment. Then move asm password file to ASM.
ASMCMD [+] > pwmove --asm /u02/app/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM +DATA/test/orapwasm -f
moving /u02/app/12.2.0/grid/dbs/orapw+ASM -> +DATA/test/orapwasm
Until here everything is OK. I check the new location as
[oracle@testrac1 dbs]$ asmcmd pwget --asm
+DATA/test/orapwasm
But when I check the diskgroup content I saw the following DB_UNKNOWN directory created automatically.
ASMCMD [+data] > ls
DB_UNKNOWN/
TEST/
_mgmtdb/
testrac/
I realize that password extension was created in DB_UNKNOWN directory.
ASMCMD [+data/test] > ls -l

PARAMETERFILE UNPROT COARSE SEP 05 17:00:00 N spfiletest.ora => +DATA/TEST/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.267.984680767
Actually orapwasm file extension must be created in +DATA/TEST/PASSWORD/pwddb_unknown.306.986125843
What is the reason for this? How can I move or copy passwordfile to ASM diskgroup 'have to' location?
THANKS!!
