Looks like things have improved since 11gR1. I've been able to successfully copy all database files from ASM to NTFS using asmcmd's cp command & copy them back to ASM. System is a two node RAC & started up without issue. Chris. Hi all,

Just stumbled onto this article while investigating Oracle RAC using ASM storage, version 11.2.0.1. Looks like things have improved since 11gR1. I’ve been able to successfully copy all database files from ASM to NTFS using asmcmd’s cp command & copy them back to ASM. System is a two node RAC & started up without issue.

How did you cp the control file to a regular file? I have been researching and trying different things to do what you claim to have done (along with others). Please provide the complete steps of copying a control file from ASM to a regular file and then back again. Also, did oracle recognize it as a non-corrupt controlfile? Thanks much.
