Does anybody have any links on how to create a standby database from a RAC cluster with ASM to a single-instance server using filesystem storage not ASM.  

11.1.0.6 OEL 5   There is a good blog at
http://www.colestock.com/blogs/2007/10/creating-physical-standby-using.h tml  

I have followed it but it gets the controlfile down and then creates an spfile from the controlfile but that contains all the RAC parameters.  

I am using the following RMAN command  

DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE   FOR STANDBY   DORECOVER   DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=('+DATA/','/export2/oradata/DGPHYS/')

  SPFILE     PARAMETER_VALUE_CONVERT '+DATA','/stdby'

    SET SERVICE_NAMES 'DGPHYS.bjss.co.uk'

    SET "db_unique_name"="DGPHYS"

    SET log_file_name_convert '+DATA/','/export2/oradata/DGPHYS/';

    SET cluster_database=false -- to overwrite the RAC components

    Set cluster database_instances=0 - tried 1 as well    

This works OK and creates an spfile but will not start the databse up from the spfile because  

RMAN-01008: the bad identifier was: cluster_database_instances

RMAN-01007: at line 1 column 5 file: standard input  

If I take out the line cluster_database_instances it fails anyway as the spfile has been built for a RAC config  

Any pointers or help appreciated
