If you have a single corrupted database, replace the bad copy with the good one and
restart the database. You should only have to modify the init.ora if the location of
the corrupted or missing control file is not reachable. Each control file contains the
exact same information. You have multiple control files to protect against losing all
your control information.

I've been told a single control file failure will halt
the database, even if you've got another control file on
a second device; that the database will only come up again
after editing the init.ora to remove the reference to the
faulty control file and initiating a fresh startup.
Is this still true, if it ever was true for any version of Oracle, for
Oracle 8.X+? The person who warned me about the halt has been using
Oracle since version 5.
Thanks very much.
