Duplicate Controlfile

1. Check that the ASM disk group is available and view its properties. 2. Verify the current control file and spfile configuration. 3. Add a new control file location to the spfile. 4. Restart the database instance in mount mode. Then duplicate the control file to the new location using RMAN and modify the spfile to reference both control files.

when database open

1, make sure asm diskgroup is avaliable

Select name,total_mb,free_mb from v$asm_diskgroup where state='CONNECTED';

2, check current controlfile and using spfile

show parameter control_files


show parameter pfile

3, add new controlfile to spfile

alter system set control_files='<original file>','<asm diskgroup name where new


control file will stored>' scope=spfile sid='*';

for example:
alter system set
control_files='+OLD/ANBOB/controlfile/current.258.798205861','+NEW_DATA'
scope=spfile sid='*';

4, restart oracle database instance, shutdown and startup in mount (not ASM
instance)

shutdown immediate
stratup nomount

5, Dumplicate controlfile to new path in spfile using rman

rman target /

rman> restore controlfile from '<original file full name>' ; exmaple:


'+SYSTEM/ANBOB/controlfile/current.258.798205861'

Note: that the command prints the name of the new created file in new ASM
diskgroup(my case is +NEW_DATA)

6, Modify the control_file parameter with the complete path of the new file

alter system set control_files='+OLD/ANBOB/controlfile/current.258.798205861','<


full name of the new controlfile generated in the previous step >' scope=spfile
sid='*';

like this "+NEW_DATA/ANBOB/controlfile/current.258.798205861"

7, restart instance and verify controlfile

shutdown immediate
startup
show parameter control

Summary:

Of course, you can use create a directory and copy confile using
dbms_file_transfer.copy_file too. or using rman COPY CURRENT CONTROLFILE TO '';
