You may well be OK. All you need to do is fetch the database up in nomount mode

startup nomount from svrmgrl.

SVRMGR> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area                          6892912 bytes
Fixed Size                                          60784 bytes
Variable Size                                     5046272 bytes
Database Buffers                                  1638400 bytes
Redo Buffers                                       147456 bytes

Then AS LONG AS YOU KNOW HOW YOUR DB was set up you could use the following command. I checked out where all the files were and typed this into a file, basically replicating the Oracle backup control file to trace output.Then from svrmgrl ran it
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "LRDB" NORESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG     MAXLOGFILES 32
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 10
    MAXINSTANCES 8
    MAXLOGHISTORY 907
LOGFILE

  GROUP 1 '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/redoLRDB01.log'  SIZE 1M,
  GROUP 2 '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/redoLRDB02.log'  SIZE 1M,
  GROUP 3 '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/redoLRDB03.log'  SIZE 1M

DATAFILE

  '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/system001.dbf',
  '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/temp001.dbf',
  '//usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/BRDMK_data001.dbf',
  '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/rbs01.dbf',
  '/usr/app/oracle/admin/leework/LRDB/lee001.dbf';

SVRMGRL>@leecrtctl
Statement processed.
SVRMGR> alter database open;
Statement processed.
SVRMGR> BEST OF LUCK but this did work perfectly for me. erm... start using the backup controlfile to trace on a regular basis !!!.

Cheers

Hi all,

I accidentally rm all my control file, I forgot do

ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE; do you have any idea how to recover my control files ?

This is just a test server so I do not perform any backup datafiles nor control files...,

Or do you have unix (Solaris 7) way to recover from files being "rm"

Thank you,

Best Regards

Sinardy
