If your standby database uses ASM and you need to refresh the standby controlfile, how do you do this? How do you get the new standby controlfile into ASM?

We use RMAN for this.

First you need to create a new standby controlfile on the primary database using the command:
SQL>alter database create standby controlfile as '/usr/tmp/X.dbvisit.20010.dbvrac1.standbycontrolfile.ctl' reuse;

This file (/usr/tmp/X.dbvisit.20010.dbvrac1.standbycontrolfile.ctl) is then copied to the standby server.

On the standby server start the standby database in nomount mode:
[oracle@dbvrac1 tmp]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.

SQL> exit

Then start RMAN and restore the standby controlfile from the file system into ASM. In this case there are 2 controlfiles:
[oracle@dbvrac1 tmp]$ rman

Completed. The standby controlfiles have been refreshed and the standby database can be used again.
