Here I register the EXAMPLE database in the RMAN catalogue on GRIDCTRL.
TNSNAMES.ORA SetUp
The following lines are added to /u01/app/asm/product/11.1.0/db_1/network/admin/tnsames.ora on both PENRITH1 and BANKSTOWN:
repos = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = gridctrl.yaocm.id.au)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = repos.yaocm.id.au) ) )
Update .bashrc
Because the oracle user has a different Oracle Home to that of the TNS Listener, I need to use the TNS_ADMIN variable. The following line is added to ~/.bashrc on both PENRITH1 and BANKSTOWN:
export TNS_ADMIN=/u01/app/asm/product/11.1.0/db_1/network/admin
Register the RMAN Database via CLI
Only on PENRITH1, I registered the EXAMPLE database in the RMAN catalogue:
[oracle@penrith1 ~]$ rman target / catalog rman@repos Recovery Manager: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Mon Jan 9 23:44:05 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle.

Set Up RMAN Catalog Under OEM
I cannot use the existing RMAN user, so I have to create a new one called OEM_RMAN as follows:
CREATE USER "OEM_RMAN" PROFILE "DEFAULT" IDENTIFIED BY "*******" DEFAULT TABLESPACE "RMAN_CATALOG" TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP" ACCOUNT UNLOCK; GRANT "CONNECT" TO "OEM_RMAN"; ALTER USER "OEM_RMAN" QUOTA UNLIMITED ON "RMAN_CATALOG"; GRANT CREATE TYPE TO "OEM_RMAN";
Database Registration Fails
Whenever I try to use OEM to register the EXAMPLE database in the recovery catalogue, I get the following error messages:
Recovery Manager: Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production on Tue Jan 10 00:20:01 2012 Copyright (c) 1982, 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.

For some reason, OEM is unable to connect to the target database, EXAMPLE. I will have to leave this for now and only use the CLI for RMAN.
