creating an additional multiplexed copy of the current controlfile in ASM

user9348010Mar 19 2019 — edited Apr 26 2019

Hi All,

I have a two node RAC configuration, and I am prototyping (on our offline system) creating an additional multiplexed copy of the current control file which is already multiplexed and stored in an ASM disk group called +DATA. The new multiplexed copy is to be stored in the Flash Recovery Area (FRA) stored on an ASM disk group called +FRA.

I am following the process defined in Oracle document ID 2006213.1. However the ASM Fully qualified file name of the new multiplexed copy of the current control file is in the following format:

backup.nnn.nnnnnnnnn 

The example in the document above for the new multiplexed copy of the control file is:

current.nnn.nnnnnnnnn

It does appear that I have created a new multiplexed copy of the current control file, and it is listed as a valid control file image in enterprise manager. Also there are no issues reading the control file during the mount phase of start up.

If anyone knows the cause of the 'backup' within the filename and not 'current'. It would be appreciated if you could let me know.

Thanks very much in advance

Steve
