Hello Kevin, if you use DBMGUI and can afford to install a second database with volumes of the original size, you can simply use DBMGUI's Instance->Configuration->Volumes to rename the volumes to the original volumes. You can delete the no longer needed dummy volumes, created by the installation of the rescue database afterwards.
However, if your database is too large - or your available disc space too small - you create a small database and use the dbmcli commands param_directgetall and param_directput to manipulate the name, size and type of each and every volume. The parameters in question start with "DATA_VOLUME_..." and "LOG_VOLUME_...".
