Copying the Oracle ASM initialization parameter file

If your Oracle is ASM-managed, then perform the procedure on each node in the cluster.

To copy the ASM initialization parameter file

  1. For Oracle 10g R2 and 11g R1:

    Copy the initSID.ora file from the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory on the node where you first installed Oracle ASM on each node of the cluster.

  2. For Oracle 11g R2, copy the initSID.ora file from the $GRID_HOME/dbs directory on the node where you first installed Oracle ASM on each node of the cluster.

    where SID is the ASM instance identifier.
