Re: recover on different hardware

If your redo logs are out of sequence, i.e you have 1, 2, 3,5,6,8 then you will not be able to do a complete recovery. Get the time of the last in sequence redo log and recovery until time.

The svrmgrl command is like this;
recover database until time '2001/11/01 hh:mi:ss' using backup control file

The it will ask you for redo logs. Reply auto and it should come back ok. The open the database with resetlogs.

HTH,
Ruth
