如果丢失或损坏所有的控制文件就需要从备份中还原控制文件。restore controlfile命令用来还原控制文件。在还原控制文件后需要对数据亩执行完全介质恢复并以resetlog选项来打开数据库。RMAN可以将控制文件还原到它的默认存储位置，也可以使用restore controlfile … to destination来指定位置。
从已经知的控制文件备份中还原控制文件

从上面的信息可以看到备份集80是控制文件与spfile文件的备份
下面来删除当前数据库的所有控制文件：
[root@oracle11g ~]# cd /u01/app/oracle/oradata/test/ [root@oracle11g test]# ls -lrt total 2213868 -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 11804672 Feb 1 11:36 users01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52436992 Feb 1 11:36 test01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 11:36 redo02.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 11:36 redo01.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 104865792 Feb 1 11:36 example01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 20979712 Feb 1 11:37 temp01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 838868992 Feb 1 19:05 system01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 492838912 Feb 1 19:05 undotbs01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 576724992 Feb 1 19:05 sysaux01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 19:10 redo03.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9814016 Feb 1 19:11 control03.ctl -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9814016 Feb 1 19:11 control02.ctl -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9814016 Feb 1 19:11 control01.ctl [root@oracle11g test]# rm -rf control*.ctl [root@oracle11g test]# ls -lrt total 2185068 -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 11:36 redo02.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 20979712 Feb 1 11:37 temp01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 19:13 redo03.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 11804672 Feb 1 19:14 users01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 492838912 Feb 1 19:14 undotbs01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52436992 Feb 1 19:14 test01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 838868992 Feb 1 19:14 system01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 576724992 Feb 1 19:14 sysaux01.dbf -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 52429312 Feb 1 19:14 redo01.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 104865792 Feb 1 19:14 example01.dbf
向测试表t2中插入一些数据库
SQL> insert into t2 select * from dba_objects;
51319 rows created.
SQL> select count(*) from t2;
COUNT(*)
----------
102560
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
这里因为是从linux操作系统层面删除了所有控制文件，因为在数据库没有关闭的情况下文件的句柄没有释放所以数据库还能运行。
人为将数据库异常终止
[root@oracle11g test]# ps -ef | grep smon oracle 3463 1 0 22:30 ? 00:00:00 ora_smon_test root 3179 3123 0 22:45 pts/3 00:00:00 grep smon [root@oracle11g test]# kill -9 3463

找不到控制文件不能将数据库置于mount状态.现在通过备份来还原控制文件执行完全数据库恢复:

表t2中的记录与恢复之前相同，说明恢复成功。
当还原控制文件时，控制文件的默认位置是由参数control_files控制的。如果没有设置control_files参数，那么数据库判断还原控制文件存储位置的规则将会与没有设置control_files参数时创建控制文件时使用的规则一样。
