Re: 9i RMAN restore to a different server with a backup from dataguard env

You can take it without using rman, directly with sqlplus: alter database backup controlfile to '...';

You may have difficulties later with your new database since this is a control file from a standby database though.

You're in a situation where an RMAN catalog would simplify the restore operation.
