Cannot connect to target database [message #322446]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone ran into the same problem. I have target database on one server and then the recovery catalog on another server. I am in the process of registering target database with the catalog and I got these issues:

1. Target database is up and running:

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  738197504 bytes
Fixed Size                  2032928 bytes
Variable Size             553655008 bytes
Database Buffers          167772160 bytes
Redo Buffers               14737408 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
TEST

2. I have added an entry for TEST in the tnsnames.ora on the server where recovery catalog is located (because I am running RMAN remotelly)

3. Trying to register target db (TEST) with recovery catalog (again, I am doing it on the server where recovery catalog is located):

prod> export ORACLE_SID=TEST
prod> rman target / catalog rman/psswd@catdb

RMAN> REGISTER DATABASE;

ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist

But my target database is up and running, what can be wrong? Thank you!

The target database must be mounted or open.

It is open...

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  738197504 bytes
Fixed Size                  2032928 bytes
Variable Size             553655008 bytes

Database mounted.
Database opened.

SQL> select name from v$database;

NAME
---------
TEST

Maybe it is a problem because I am accessig target database remotely? Alghough, I have created an entry in the tnsnames.ora for the target database...
