Oracle Database full restore using RMAN

Each and every dba someday will or will not face this situation. But anyway I had to face this scenario. So I decided to blog the steps I followed thinking this might be helpful to some other newbie like me.....

1) Create all the mountpoint as identical to the source

2) Copy all the RMAN backup files to the RMAN source directory

3) Put the DB in to the nomount state
   startup nomount

4) set the environment using . oraenv(if linux)

5) connect to RMAN
   RMAN taget /

6) Restore the control file
   RMAN> restore controlfile from '/BACKUP/RMAN_BACKUP/DB1/c-974303543-20120319-00';

7) Mount the database
   RMAN> Alter database mount

8) select the max sequence using
   SQL> select max(sequence#) from v$log;

9) Connect back to the RMAN and execute
   RMAN> run
   { set until sequence $number;
    restore database; }

P.S $number is the number found executing the statement at step 8).

Happy restoration!!!!
