Hi,

As far as I can see, odacli register-database doesn't support RAC databases.
So if it is a RAC database, then you have to follow the steps documented in
whitepaper named "Oracle Database Appliance: Implementing MAA Disaster Recovery Solutions Using Oracle Data Guard"

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-appliance/learnmore/oda-dg-maa-wp-r1-19-5869757.pdf

-Create an instance only database with odacli create-database -io
-Restore the database from backup or clone the database

And I don't think you can successfully register a database in ODA without using creating db storage. there is a important relationship between these two actions.. See the following MOS note ->

Can't Register CLONE Database On ODA X7-2M (Doc ID 2553315.1)

It even expects the name used in creating db storage to be the same as the one used with registering the database. So those are tightly coupled..

However; you can ask this to Oracle Support, as well.. Because currently I don't have a TEST environment to test/or find an alternative method for you...
