Looking for Details on Recreating a Controlfile for RAC on ASM
Hi, DBAs
Does anyone know of a good, detailed reference for completely recreating a controlfile for a RAC database using ASM? This is for RAC 11.2.0.4. I have an existing, empty database and its controlfile in ASM, but I want to change the characterset to UTF. I'd rather recreate the controlfile than drop and recreate the database.
I'm starting with a trace file generated with command "alter database backup controlfile to trace;" I also have a pfile created from the spfile. I'm looking for the modifications to the pfile and the trace file in order to retain the same database name, and the syntax for naming the logfiles because ASM likes to name these itself.
