Typical practice here is twenty or more and completely random characters as the cluster password.

Literally mashing the alphanumeric keys as the input within SYSMAN.

Not bothering to record the string, either.

Then replicate CLUSTER_AUTHORIZE.DAT to all system disks in the cluster, for cases where more than one system disk is present.

I mastered that technique many years ago.
Perhaps not intentionally, but very reliably.
