You are correct Chris....RMAN will need physical archived logs. The repository 
(control file or catalog) contains only metadata.

Subject: rman catalog

If an archivelog has been physically removed from a system, but there's 
metadata in the rman catalog for that log, can it be restored from the catalog? 
I thought the catalog contained only the metadata, but a dba just told me he 
could restore from the catalog, even though the file was no longer available on 
the system.

This is Oracle version 11.2.

Thanks!
