Rman problem when registering database.

Hi,

I'm trying to register a development database thru RMAN and I'm getting a error message stating that the database is already registered. I checked the catalog and sure enough the DBID existed, but was being used by another database(test). Both Test and Dev are having the same DBID(select * from v$database;) How can I resolve this and register my dev database.

I appreciate all your help
Thanks
Vj

You have probably cloned test from dev (or vive versa).
databases with the same dbid cannot be stored in the same schema in rman.

Create another rman user.
Register dev database in new schema.
