在恢复控制文件之前，必须知道目标数据库的DBID。身为DBA的你，在接手数据库时，定要把数据库的DBID给备份出来！

    1）备份控制文件

RMAN> list backup of controlfile;

    2）测试数据

hr@ORCL> create table t (name varchar2(20));

Table created.

hr@ORCL> insert into t values(\'think\');

1 row created.

hr@ORCL> commit;

Commit complete.

    3）模拟环境

sys@ORCL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
sys@ORCL> host rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/oradata/ORCL/controlfile/*

sys@ORCL> startup 
ORACLE instance started.

Redo Buffers                2973696 bytes
ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

    由于控制文件丢失，肯定是启动不到mount状态了。

    4）修复控制文件

    因为nocatalog下，rman的备份信息及环境配置等都在控制文件里，而控制文件又丢失了，所以以前你对rman做的很多自定义设置都没有了，包括自动备份。

RMAN> set DBID=1316499950

executing command: SET DBID

RMAN> restore controlfile from \'/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/ORCL/backupset/2012_08_08/o1_mf_ncnnf_TAG20120808T101321_823lt24m_.bkp\';

RMAN> alter database mount;

database mounted
released channel: ORA_DISK_1

    5）恢复数据库

    由于数据文件都在，只需要重新运用备份控制文件之后生成的那些重做日志文件即可

RMAN> recover database;

    6）resetlogs打开数据库

    由于通过备份的控制文件恢复，因此打开时必须指定resetlogs

RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;

database opened

RMAN> list incarnation of database;


List of Database Incarnations
DB Key  Inc Key DB Name  DB ID            STATUS  Reset SCN  Reset Time
------- ------- -------- ---------------- --- ---------- ----------

3       3       ORCL     1316499950       CURRENT 604802     08-AUG-12

    7）查询数据

hr@ORCL> select * from t;

NAME

    ok，everything is perfect。
