Thanks Tanel / Jared, I had already done the test to recover using Catalog using NFS mount. Just wanted to be sure.. what I am going to do.. I was a bit confused.. whether it stores all the information in control file for 8i databases also or has started doing it from 9i. I am testing on 8i... I got all the steps in my initial mail from Documentation only. Thanks.
