Hmm, they need to be the same on all the nodes, I'm not sure if they are stored somewhere. I would certainly stop the entire cluster, do the change, fix the file ownership, and then start everything back up again, and do it on a testing server first. Also, it would be a good idea to open a SR with Oracle and have an "official" answer.
