What I did was create an AUXILIARY database on my primary database cluster server. The Auxiliary database only lived on 1 node and wrote the datafiles out to a EXT3 filesystem on the local node. DB_NAME=AUX1 DB_UNIQUE_NAME=AUX1 CONTROL_FILES=/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/control01.ctl DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=('+DG_MYPROD_DBNAME_DATA_01/MYPROD_DBNAME/datafile/','/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/', '+DG_MYPROD_DBNAME_UNDO_TEMP_01/MYPROD_DBNAME/datafile/','/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/', '+DG_MYPROD_DBNAME_UNDO_TEMP_01/MYPROD_DBNAME/tempfile/', '/datatransb/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/') LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=('+DG_MYPROD_DBNAME_REDO_01/MYPROD_DBNAME/datafile/','/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/') REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE='EXCLUSIVE' COMPATIBLE .2.0.3.0 DB_BLOCK_SIZE92 SGA_MAX_SIZE=5G local_listener='MYPROD_DBNAMEN1' audit_file_dest=/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/ audit_trail='db' skip_unusable_indexes=TRUE undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS01' background_dump_dest='/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/' user_dump_dest='/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/' core_dump_dest='/datatransn1/MYPROD_DBNAME/aux1/' _no_recovery_through_resetlogs=true processes00 Startup the AUX1 instance NOMOUNT Then did an RMAN DUPLICATE TO AUXILIARY DATABASE using the SKIP TABLESPACE argument to skip all the tablespaces I wasn't interested in. You must have SYSTEM, SYSAUX so you can't skip them.

Also I have a scenario where I have to restore only required data files out of my TB size database and do create a new control file and open the DB with reset logs and export finally the required tables. Please suggest and share. Thanks Shastry On Wednesday, February 27, 2013, wrote: Yep I did actually. No reported issues there.
