SQL> select name,open_mode from v$database; NAME OPEN_MODE --------- -------------------- DEV READ WRITE Steps to recover the control file using RMAN backup : Every Oracle Database has a control file as one of its important file. It is a small binary file that records the physical structure of the database. The control file includes: By default, at least one copy of the control file is created during database creation. On some operating systems the default is to create multiple copies. You should create two or more copies of the control file during database creation. Below are some of the recovery scenarios related to control files. SCENARIO 1 : AUTOBACKUP OF CONTROL FILE IS ENABLED It is highly recommended to enable autobackup of the control file. We had two control files, one at FRA location and another in Non-FRA location. We lost both of the control files Control file 1: /u01/app/oracle/oradata/dev/control01.ctl, COntrol file 2: /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dev/control02.ctl Now you can not start the database since the oracle process is unable to locate the control files SQL> startup ORACLE instance started.

This is the simplest method that RMAN provides for restoring a control file. RMAN uses the value of your operating system ORACLE_SID variable to look in the default location for control file backups in the flash recovery area RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup; Starting restore at 02-MAR-24 using target database control file instead of recovery catalog allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1 channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=256 device type=DISK recovery area destination: /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dev database name (or database unique name) used for search: DEV channel ORA_DISK_1: AUTOBACKUP /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dev/DEV/autobackup/2024_03_02/ o1_mf_s_1162571367_ly61nhvq_.bkp found in the recovery area AUTOBACKUP search with format "%F" not attempted because DBID was not set channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring control file from AUTOBACKUP /u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dev/DEV/ autobackup/2024_03_02/o1_mf_s_1162571367_ly61nhvq_.bkp channel ORA_DISK_1: control file restore from AUTOBACKUP complete output file name=/u01/app/oracle/oradata/dev/control01.ctl output file name=/u01/app/oracle/fast_recovery_area/dev/control02.ctl Finished restore at 02-MAR-24 NOTE : As we have restored a control file from a backup, we are required to perform media recovery on entire database and then open it with the open resetlogs command. This is true although we didn’t restore any datafiles (because the control file’s SCN is no longer synchronized with the SCNs in the datafiles and online redo log files).
