Testing an rman backup

Environment: Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 HP-UX B 11.23
I am performing hot backups with rman in nocatalog mode. I would like to
test restore procedures on the same node without destroying the existing
database. Ideally, this should restore the database as a new instance
with data files in different directories. I know that I can do this
with the duplicate command, but that command requires rman to connect to
the source database. Connecting to the source database, in my opinion,
invalidates the test since I need assurance that I can recreate the
database from scratch using only the rman backup files, the spfile, and
the backup of the control file.
At this point I do not have the luxury of a clean server on which to run
this test, but I do have sufficient disk space for a second copy of the
instance.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter Schauss
