Fred,
one of the easier ways is this:
1. on ur prod take a control file backup to trace
2. copy the trace to server b and edit the path/drives
3. copy init file from prod to server b
4. set the env vars in server b and startup nomount
5. create the control file using edited trace on B
6. restore database {rman}
7. recover database {rman}
8. open resetlogs
alternate method:
all steps are similar except 1,2,5
instead u can restore controlfile (rman backup) and
then manualkly rename the file before u mount and
restore your database.
let me know if this still does not answer your q
Thx
Deepak
