Registering the Protected Database on the Upstream Recovery Appliance

This task configures the wallet, adds VPC user credentials, tests those credentials, and registers the protected database with the upstream Recovery Appliance. If it is a RAC database, the steps need to be performed on each host where the protected database runs.

The operations and naming conventions used here are equivalent to those in Enterprise Manager.

Configure the sqlnet.ora file that will be used by RMAN to connect to the correctRecovery Appliance. Go to the proper directory.
```
$ cd ${ORACLE_HOME}/network/admin
```

Edit the sqlnet.ora file and ensure the following parameters are set correctly:

SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = true

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)

WALLET_LOCATION =
  (SOURCE =
    (METHOD = FILE)
    (METHOD_DATA =
      (DIRECTORY = /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_1/dbs/zdlra)
    )
  )

SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 10

Create a replication wallet that stores each of the VPC user credentials. Perform this step only if the replication wallet doesn't already exist. On each host:
```
$ mkstore -wrl file:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_1/dbs/zdlra -
createALO
```

Create credential aliases for each of the three credentials that will be used by RMAN. On each host, run the mkstore command. Enter the appropriate password when prompted.

$ mkstore -wrl file:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_1/dbs/zdlra -
createCredential dr_rahadr2 hadr_local_vpcuser hadr2_L0cal_Pa55w0rd

$ mkstore -wrl file:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_1/dbs/zdlra -
createCredential dr_rahadr1 hadr_local_vpcuser hadr1_L0cal_Pa55w0rd

$ mkstore -wrl file:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1/dbhome_1/dbs/zdlra -
createCredential dr_rahadr hadr_common_vpcuser c0mm0n_Pa55w0rd

Verify the credentials are working correctly by logging into each target using only the credential alias. On each host, run the following:
```
$ sqlplus /@dr_rahadr1
```
Register the protected database with the Recovery Appliance in RAHADR1. On one of the hosts, run:
```
$ rman target / catalog /@dr_rahadr1

RMAN> register database;
```

Perform a test backup of the current control file to Recovery Appliance hadr1 (RAHADR1). On one of the protected database hosts, perform a backup of the current control file.

$ rman target / catalog /@dr_rahadr1
