I am doing RMAN backup/restore testing (ORACLE 9ir2). 
I backup whole database to tape, but don't know how to
restore it back "diectly" from tape.

The procedures I doing are:


RMAN> startup nomount

Oracle instance started

Total System Global Area     286766360 bytes

Fixed Size                      451864 bytes
Variable Size                167772160 bytes
Database Buffers             117440512 bytes
Redo Buffers                   1101824 bytes

RMAN> show all;

using target database controlfile instead of recovery
catalog
