因为Oracle群集服务器需要重装，本来以为会比较顺利，谁知道折腾了两天一夜。
把事例安装过A服务器后，将A、B服务器的共享的磁盘阵列清空，然后在B服务器上安装实例，测试B服务器可以正常启动，但是A服务器事例不能启动，出现下列错误。
ORA-01991: invalid password file 'd:\oracle\Ora92\DATABASE\PWD...'
本来以为是我们安装两个事例时的配置不相同造成的，结果重装了3-4次，折腾了很久都没有搞好，最后把B的相同文件复制到A的相同位置，问题就解决了。

在数据库未启动之前登陆从而启动数据库如果没有口令文件，在数据库未启动之前就只能通过操作系统认证.使用Rman，很多时候需要在nomount,mount等状态对数据库进行处理。所以通常要求sysdba权限如果属于本地DBA组，可以通过操作系统认证登陆如果是远程sysdba登陆，需要通过passwordfile认证。
1.remote_login_passwordfile = NONE
此时停用口令文件验证，Oracle数据库不允许远程SYSDBA/SYSOPER身份登录无法通过远程进行数据库起停等操作管理local:
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

此处实际上是无法通过口令文件验证

sysdba已连接。SQL> show userUSER 为"SYS"SQL>
这实际上就是通过口令文件验证登录的
3.进一步测试
如果此时我们删除passwdfile,sysdba/sysoper将无法认证，也就无法登陆数据库
Server:
SQL> !
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ ls orapwhsjf
orapwhsjf
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ mv orapwhsjf orapwhsjf.bak
[oracle@jumper dbs]$
Remote:
E:\Oracle\ora92\bin>sqlplus /nolog

SQL> connect sys/oracle@hsjf as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL>
这实际上就是无法通过口令文件验证身份
4.如果丢失了passwdfile
如果使用passwdfile却意外丢失，此时将不能启动数据库
SQL> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 131142648 bytes
Fixed Size 451576 bytes
Variable Size 104857600 bytes
Database Buffers 25165824 bytes
Redo Buffers 667648 bytes
ORA-01990: error opening password file '/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0/dbs/orapw'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
此时可以通过orapwd重建口令文件来解决
此处我们恢复口令文件既可
SQL> !
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ mv $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/orapwhsjf.bak orapwhsjf
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ exit
exit
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
SQL>
大致就是如此.
5. remote_login_passwordfile = shared
我们看一下Oracle9i文档中的说明:
SHARED
More than one database can use a password file. However, the only user recognized by the password file is SYS.
意思是说多个数据库可以共享一个口令文件,但是只可以识别一个用户:SYS
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP
------------------------------ ----- -----
SYS TRUE TRUE
SQL> grant sysdba to eygle;
grant sysdba to eygle
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01994: GRANT failed: cannot add users to public password file
SQL> show parameter password
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile string SHARED
我们看到,此时的口令文件中是不能添加用户的.很多人的疑问在于:口令文件的缺省名称是orapw,怎么能够共享? 实际上是这样的: Oracle数据库在启动时,首先查找的是orapw的口令文件,如果该文件不存在,则开始查找,orapw的口令文件如果口令文件命名为orapw,多个数据库就可以共享.
我们看一下测试:
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Additional information: 3
我们建立orapw口令文件,这时候可以打开数据库.
SQL> !
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ ls
hsjf initdw.ora inithsjf.ora init.ora lkHSJF orapwhsjf.bak spfilehsjf.ora
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ cp orapwhsjf.bak orapw
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ exit
exit
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
SQL> show parameter passw
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile string SHARED
SQL>
那么你可能会有这样的疑问,多个Exclusive的数据库是否可以共享一个口令文件(orapw)呢?
我们继续这个实验:
SQL> show parameter passwordNAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
remote_login_passwordfile string SHARED
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ strings orapw
]\[Z
ORACLE Remote Password file
INTERNAL
AB27B53EDC5FEF41
8A8F025737A9097A
注意这里仅记录着INTERNAL/SYS的口令
REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=EXCLUSIVE 时
SQL> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive scope=spfile;System altered.
SQL> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 235999908 bytes
Fixed Size 451236 bytes
Variable Size 201326592 bytes
Database Buffers 33554432 bytes
Redo Buffers 667648 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL> !
[oracle@jumper bin]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ strings orapw
]\[Z
ORACLE Remote Password file
HSJF
INTERNAL
AB27B53EDC5FEF41
8A8F025737A9097A
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ exit
exit
注意这里,以EXCLUSIVE 方式启动以后,实例名称信息被写入口令文件.此时如果有其他实例以Exclusive模式启动仍然可以使用这个口令文件,口令文件中的实例名称同时被改写.也就是说,数据库只在启动过程中才读取口令文件,数据库运行过程中并不锁定该文件,类似于pfile/spfile文件.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP
------------------------------ ----- -----
SYS TRUE TRUE
SQL> grant sysdba to eygle;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDB SYSOP
------------------------------ ----- -----
SYS TRUE TRUE
EYGLE TRUE FALSE
SQL> !
[oracle@jumper bin]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
[oracle@jumper dbs]$ strings orapw
]\[Z
ORACLE Remote Password file
HSJF
INTERNAL
AB27B53EDC5FEF41
8A8F025737A9097A
>EYGLE
B726E09FE21F8E83
注意此时可以增加SYSDBA用户，并且这些信息可以被写入到口令文件.一旦口令文件中增加了其他SYSDBA用户,此文件不再能够被其他Exclusive的实例共享.实际上，口令文件对于其他用户来说就是启到了一个sudo 的作用.
6.重建口令文件
如果口令文件丢失,可以使用orapwd可以重建口令文件，语法如下:
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ orapwdUsage: orapwd file= password= entries= where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
