GOAL
Step by step guide on how to recreate standby control file when datafiles are on ASM and using Oracle Managed Files (OMF)
In case you may want or need more about your current topic - please also access the Data Guard Community of Customers and Oracle Specialists directly via:
https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/high_availability_data_guard/302
https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/high_availability_data_guard/302
Please Note: If your Standby database role at the time of creating the new controlfile is "SNAPSHOT STANDBY" do NOT follow this process as you will destroy your standby databases ability to revert from a snapshot standby back to a physical standby.
SOLUTION
Below are the steps to accomplish the task :
Step 1: Disable data guard broker if it exist
Step 2: Create the Standby control file on primary database
Step 3: Copy the controlfile backup to the standby system
Step 4: Shutdown, restore, rename
Step 5: Enable configuration if disabled in step 1.
Step 2: Create the Standby control file on primary database
Step 3: Copy the controlfile backup to the standby system
Step 4: Shutdown, restore, rename
Step 5: Enable configuration if disabled in step 1.
Example
Step 1 : DGMGRL> disable configuration;
Step 2 : Create the Standby control file on primary database.
$ export ORACLE_SID=DEL
$rman target /
RMAN> backup current controlfile for standby format 'stdbyctl.bkp';
RMAN> EXIT;
$rman target /
RMAN> backup current controlfile for standby format 'stdbyctl.bkp';
RMAN> EXIT;
stdbyctl.bkp file will be created in "$ORACLE_HOME/dbs" (Unix) or "$ORACLE_HOME/database" (Windows).
Step 3 : Copy the controlfile backup to the standby system
Using ftp/scp move stdbyctl.bkp to standby system
Step 4 : Shutdown, restore, rename.
Step 3 : Copy the controlfile backup to the standby system
Using ftp/scp move stdbyctl.bkp to standby system
Step 4 : Shutdown, restore, rename.
A. Shutdown all instances of the standby.
On linux
$ export ORACLE_SID=MUM
On windows
set ORACLE_SID=MUM
$sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> shutdown immediate
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
B. Depending on the location of the logfiles on the standby server remove all online and standby redo logs from the standby directories Using an Operating System utility or ASMCMD and make sure that you have the LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter defined to translate any directory paths.
C. Startup one instance of Standby database in nomount stage:
$sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.

Fixed Size 1248116 bytes
Variable Size 75498636 bytes
Database Buffers 125829120 bytes
Redo Buffers 7139328 bytes
D. Connect to RMAN with nocatalog option and Restore the standby control file:
$rman nocatalog target /
RMAN> restore standby controlfile from '\tmp\stdbyctl.bkp';
Starting restore at 29-AUG-08
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=155 devtype=DISK
channel ORA_DISK_1: restoring control file
channel ORA_DISK_1: restore complete, elapsed time: 00:00:17
output filename=+DATA1/del/controlfile/current.257.661096899
Finished restore at 29-AUG-08
E. Mount standby database
RMAN> alter database mount;
database mounted
F. Catalog the datafiles of standby database
Below command will give you a list of files and ask if they should all be catalog. Review the list and say YES if all the datafiles are properly listed
In below command while cataloging the files, the string specified should refer to the diskgroup/filesystem destination of the standby data files.
RMAN> catalog start with '+DATA1/MUM/DATAFILE/';
Starting implicit crosscheck backup at 29-AUG-08
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=155 devtype=DISK
Crosschecked 10 objects
Finished implicit crosscheck backup at 29-AUG-08

File Name: +data1/MUM/DATAFILE/USERS.261.661097855
NOTE:
a) This will only work if you are using OMF. If you are using ASM without OMF you have to catalog all non-OMF Datafiles as Datafile Copies manually using
RMAN> catalog datafilecopy '<File-Specification>';
b) If you have Datafiles on different Diskgroups you have to catalog from all Diskgroups, of course.
G. Commit the changes to the controlfile
RMAN> switch database to copy;
datafile 1 switched to datafile copy "+DATA1/mum/datafile/system.258.661097855"
datafile 2 switched to datafile copy "+DATA1/mum/datafile/undotbs1.260.661097855"

datafile 4 switched to datafile copy "+DATA1/mum/datafile/users.261.661097855"
RMAN> EXIT;
H. Re-enable flashback on the standby database.
