On my stand by DB when I run the following command I get this error:

I am trying to backup my control on a STBBY DB(RAC) and I am getting the ollowing error.
ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system
what the issue is? Note the FS is ACFS and can see on all my nodes
show all;
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name PA01INS_IM3L059B are:

Suppose I take a multi stream backup, say 3 streams.
So if a control file is backed up in say backup set 1, so is the whole control file is backed up in one backup piece or it may span multiple pieces?
A backup set may have multiple backup pieces.
I want to ask if I restore a control file from backup of say day2 and I recover till day1 using RMAN script, then what will be the state of my database? I mean day2 control file may be having SCN-Day2, and I am instructing RMAN to recover till past point in time that is SCN-Day1.

I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.

I take hot backup of database at 10:00 am.After taking the hot backup 50 archived logs are created.Out of 50 i have backed up first 25 of them and at 5:00pm i lose complete database including control,data and the last 25 archived log files that were not backed up.So I am using latest hot backup to recover
I restore the control file backup and datafile backup taken during ho tbackup(10 am) and i issue the command
.......startup mount
>>>>>>>Recover database until cancel
!!!!!!! Apply the available 25 archive logs
then i give "cancel" since I dont have the next redo log .Now in which mode will the database open(Reset logs or no reset logs)
I want to restore control file from backup set,just as the flowing command,where location does the control file be restored to? how can i specify the location when restore control file?
restore controlfile from '/u01/rman_backup/mybak/df_768589733_7_1.bak';
taking the backup of a control file, as i am taking online backup, archive mode.
At first i have executed the statement
sql> alter database backup control file to trace;
then i have removed the control files and enterd some data in a table and committed it.As my oracle is not shutting down, so i shut aborted it. Now after saving the last file from the udump as obkp.sql i am unable to edit this file and use.
how to edit and use this file, so that i can startup my database normally.
When i issue this command ,how many times to backup controlfile?

The 01:40 record will come from our nightly command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 FILESPERSET=20 FORMAT 'full_%d_%t_%s_%p'
DATABASE INCLUDE CURRENT CONTROLFILE
The 11AM records will come from the command:
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL=0 FORMAT 'ctl_%t_%s_%p' CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
(I know backups shouldn't still be running at 11am and we don't need level 0 backups every night, that's a seperate issue I'll be addressing! ) I see there's been a similar entry here in v$backup_datafile for all backups that there's records for. The database is up and running just fine. There are no unusual errors being reported by the database in OEM or the alert log.I tried looking at both our control files (yes, should have 3 - something else I've listed to change!) with dbverify which showed no issues - though I'm not sure if this is designed to work with control files.
If so, how could I confirm whether it's an issue with a specific controlfile (I'm assuming it's not an issue with the backup to tape itself, as it's reporting the same corruption every day)?I'd obviously like to diagnose this now while the db is up and running, rather than at 4am some morning during a crash and finding out my backup control files are no good!
We're running 10.2.0.4 Database on AIX with no catalog Database.We keep all the backup info in controlfiles only.When we do that backup, we're able to successfully back it up (including archivelogs). But I'm unable to find any records in the controlfiles.

I've pasted some of the results of an RMAN backup that I ran. It says that it's backing up both the Control File and the SPFILE, but it appears that only one file is being created. Is this correct? How does this work? Are both files combined into the C-3843121877-20120619-00 file?

Also, regarding the below configuration of RMAN - I can change this directory to whatever I want, correct? In other words, is it just the directory where I am putting the backup?

what command must precede it, is it:

I want to create binary copy of control file every time I do backup. I am using sql "alter database backup controlfile to ''+FRADG/TESTDB/controlfile/controlfile.ctl'' "; in my rman backup script. If I run it second time I got errors as it does does not allow to overwrite existing one.

I am having a issue, we are trying to restore our db from control files using Symantec Backup exec, but job fails giving me error go to table spaces select all table spaces and unchecked roll forward.
i am unable to find way to uncheck the table spaces. Here is the complete description.
Cause
The system catalog tablespace "syscatspace" contains all of the system catalog information for the tables. Syscatspace needs to be rolled forward first, and then the other tablespaces must be rolled forward.
Solution
Workaround:
When the restore operation is run from a tablespace level backup, perform the rollforward for the syscatspace tablespace first and then for other tablespaces.
Execute the rollforward operation as a DBA operation. The sequence of the recovery process should be as follows:
1. Select all tablespaces, uncheck the rollforward option and run the restore job.
2. Run the rollforward operation as a DBA initiated operation:
rollforward syscatspace to point in time / end of logs. e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete Tablespace (SYSCATSPACE) online
3. Perform rollforward of all other tablespaces.
e.g. db2 => rollforward database UEXIT to end of logs and complete tablespace (SYSTOO LSPACE,USERSPACE1) online
Refer to IBM DB2 documentation for more information on DBA-initiated operations.
We are trying to restore a database to a cold backup DBID.However while our datafiles were backuped up for 6 months retention we found out subsequent delete obsolete command wiped out the Control file related to this backup piece..Now what is left with this backup piece is just datafiles..
Can we still recover the database with a subsequent controlfile autobackup for the same DBID.?
Can the control file be used to store scripts which are used to perform backups? I know the RMAN recovery catalog can.
Does the SHOW command display detailed reporting on the RMAN catalog contents other than configuration information?
I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?

My management is asking me to find the best way to migrate our 3.3 TB data warehouse to a new server. I currently use RMAN to back up the database. This is done offline on Sundays, and it takes about 9 hours, compressed backups to disk. Archived log backups are done online, not in conjuction with the db backup.
I have read a number of documents detailing step to use OEM Db Control (aka dbconsole) to clone the database to the new server.
I have a few questions:
1. I need to clone the Oracle SW first, as our current install has patches, so it should take less time.
2. Do you think just restoring from the last RMAN backup and doing recovery would be faster than cloning?
3. On the new server, I have assumed that the root user (not me) would have to pre-create the OFA structure, e.g.; we have some mount points like /f01/oracle/DBNAME or /g01/oracle/DBNAME. I cannot imagine that the Db control Gui or Rman could create that structure on the target server. Is that correct?
4. There seems to be an attitude in my shop that the storage array mount points and OFA would not have to be identical on the target server. Any opinions?
Back in 1995, I successfully manually cloned a database to a new server in an HP environment, but it was only about 70G!!
