Chris,
Does the run block succeed without the ALTER DATABASE MOUNT?

I am automating the restore of a database to a new host following
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/BRADV/rcmadvre.htm#BRADV89831.
I'm trying to change the location of the controlfiles prior to restore.
the documentation indicates all that is necessary is to alter the parameter
file value for control_files prior to restore controlfile command:
"Change any location-specific parameters, for example, those ending in
_DEST, to reflect the new directory structure. For example, edit the
following parameters:
- IFILE
- LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1
- CONTROL_FILES"
I did that but when I run:
"run
{ ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk;
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
'/zfs/prod_backups/dbname/cf_%F';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
}"
It restores the controlfiles to the original location.
Further, when i try the following:
"run
{ ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE disk;
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO
'/zfs/prod_backup/dbname/cf_%F';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE TO '+DATAC1/pd_restore/CONTROLFILE/dbname.ctl' from
autobackup;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
}"
I get:
"released channel: c1

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info
"
and '+DATAC1/pd_restore/CONTROLFILE/dbname.ctl' doesn't exist after
execution as the error message indicates.
what am i doing wrong? what do i need to do to restore the controlfile to
a new location?
Sorry in advance for the recovery 101 question.
