The ASMSNMP user is an Oracle ASM user with privileges to monitor Oracle ASM instances. The ASMSNMP user password is required.
How can I change the password of the Oracle user ASMSNMP?
Objective is authentication for accessing Oracle ASM Instances. For example to register an ASM target in your Cloud Control 13c.
# Set variables for Unix
$ . oraenv
+ASM (or +ASM1 in RAC flexasm)
First Method to change asmsnmp with sql*Plus
$ sqlplus / as sysasm
Alter user asmsnmp identified by my-password;
Second method useful for RAC
In a HA environment:
$ asmcmd
ASMCMD> orapwusr –modify –password asmsnmp
Enter password: my-password
For info, orapwusr can add, drop, or modify an Oracle ASM password file user (sysasm|sysdba|sysoper). pwget/pwset are other commands to set or locate the password file when it is stored on ASM.
Note: grant sysdba to asmsnmp; — Before promoting the ASM target in the Cloud Control
The ASMSNMP default password is not documented in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Environment.
