Control file (1 fail – 2 good): Best practice is rman> restore control file from good_control_file_path.
Lost control file, DB is usually crash or running => shutdown Abort (mandatory) => startup nomount (using parameter file only) => rman restore control_file from good copy => alter database mount => alter database open (no resetlogs).
