RMAN restore of ODA X6-2-HA RAC database

A client that I was supporting asked me to complete a dry run of a database restore on their newly built ODA.  Below are the steps that I performed to complete the database restore.

Prerequisites:

I built the RAC database using OAKCLI.
I backed up the database with RMAN incremental level 0 + cumulative level 1.
I dropped the database using SQLPLUS commands vs. OAKCLI as to not remove the ACFS directories for the database.

1. Startup the database instance in NOMOUNT.

RMAN> startup nomount force;


startup failed: ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-01565: error in identifying file '/u02/app/oracle/oradata/datastore/.ACFS/snaps/labtest/labtest/spfilelabtest.ora'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

starting Oracle instance without parameter file for retrieval of spfile
Oracle instance started

Total System Global Area    1073741824 bytes

Fixed Size                     2932632 bytes
Variable Size                415236200 bytes
Database Buffers             650117120 bytes
Redo Buffers                   5455872 bytes


2. Restore the spfile from backup taken.


RMAN> restore spfile from '/backup/LABTEST/ctrl_c-1771719914-20180118-00';

Starting restore at 18-JAN-18
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=2 device type=DISK

channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring spfile from AUTOBACKUP /backup/LABTEST/ctrl_c-1771719914-20180118-00
channel ORA_DISK_1: SPFILE restore from AUTOBACKUP complete
Finished restore at 18-JAN-18

3. Set the DBID for the database being restored.


RMAN> set dbid 1771719914;

executing command: SET DBID

4. Restore the controlfile from autobackup.


RMAN> restore controlfile from '/backup/LABTEST/ctrl_c-1771719914-20180118-00';

Starting restore at 18-JAN-18
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=181 instance=labtest1 device type=DISK

channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring control file
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:00:02
output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/datastore/labtest/LABTEST/controlfile/o1_mf_f5zk5rxs_.ctl
Finished restore at 18-JAN-18

5.  Mount the database with the controlfile that was just restored.


RMAN> alter database mount;

using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
Statement processed

RMAN> list backup summary;
