How to copy a control file to the FRA and have it recognized as being in the FRA where FRA is not a ASM location?


For example when I run this command,

 

If the control file is recognized by Oracle as being in the FRA, the IS_RECOVERY_DEST_FILE column would indicate this with a YES. Here CONTROL03.CTL file mirrored to FRA but still it shows NO.

If this is set to NO, v$flash_recovery_area_usage will not show us the correct result.
