Title: Oracle RMAN restore autobackup controlfile
Date: 02/2007
NV Version: 7.4.x
OS Version: Any
Application version:Oracle 9x, Oracle 10x
Plugin version:RMAN 4.5
Description: Instructions for retrieving the latest autobackup controlfile backup with no catalog.
Symptoms: In a disaster recovery situation it is necessary to retrieve the last controlfile backed up by autobackup controlfile. This controlfile is not accessible through the Netvault restore GUI as it is not a Netvault generated backup.
At the recovery point of an Oracle database which has been backed up with RMAN us a controlfile instead of a catalog, having created a new instance to recover into, the current controlfile has no record of the location of the backups. So it is necessary to do a manual recovery of the controlfile from the tape before proceeding.
