Hi,

I am trying to recover a database from an RMAN backup in 10R2 with 2n RAC. The backup was taken few months ago and it went well. This is the backup script:

• Begin script ------------------------------------

*export ORACLE_SID=f9dmo1

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib*
*today=$1*
*$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman <<_EOF_*
*connect target;*
*run

{
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2; allocate channel ch1 device type disk maxpiecesize 8G; allocate channel ch2 device type disk maxpiecesize 8G; configure CHANNEL device type 'SBT_TAPE' clear; sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup

   as compressed backupset
   tag 'bk_f9dmo_$today'
   format
'/psoft/u02/oracle10g/cds/f9upgrd/f9dmo/backup/dec02_2009/%d_%I_%T_%U'

   database plus archivelog delete input ;
sql 'alter system switch logfile';
backup

    tag 'f9dmo_ctrl_$today'
    current controlfile format
'/psoft/u02/oracle10g/cds/f9upgrd/f9dmo/backup/dec02_2009/bk_f9dmo_ctrl_$today'; backup

    as copy
    not backed up
    archivelog all format
'/psoft/u02/oracle10g/cds/f9upgrd/f9dmo/backup/dec02_2009/arc_cp_%d_%I_seq_%e'; }
exit*
*_EOF_**
*

• End script

I renamed the directory dec02_2009 to dec02_2009_f9dmo_base_bkup.

Here is the log for the run:

I am trying to restore the controlfile and I am getting the following error:

The controlfile backup looks like a valid piece to me:

server:/home/oracle $ ls -ltr
/psoft/u02/oracle10g/cds/f9upgrd/f9dmo/backup/dec02_2009_f9dmo_base_bkup/bk_f9dmo_ctrl_02_Dec_09.11> -rw-rw---- 1 oracle oinstall 11403264 Dec 02 11:58 /psoft/u02/oracle10g/cds/f9upgrd/f9dmo/backup/dec02_2009_f9dmo_base_bkup/b k_f9dmo_ctrl_02_Dec_09.11:53

Thanks.
