How to restore the database from rman tape backup Dec 4th 2013
All the tapes with Dec 4th backup are ready for restore on other server which is not the server we do the backup.
First I try to restore the controlfile
rman> run{
allocate channel ch00 type 'SB T_TAPE' parms 'ENV=(NB_ORA_CLIENT=servername)';
restore controlfile to '/xxx/xx/control01.ctl';
release channel ch00;}
It started to search the current control backup piece one by one. My old control file is in backup piece ctl_35058_1_833331856, the latest is number 37676. I tried to run <restore controlfile from 'ctl_35058_1_833331856'; it is not working. Is it the fast way to restore the controfile instead of searching all the backup which returns failover to previous backup?
