I agree with Jay, you need to create symbolic links that mimic the
locations RMAN hopes to find the backup files.
I was unable to get RMAN to restore the control file. The problem I
encountered was that RMAN required the target database to be mounted first,
but without a control file I couldn't mount the database. Someone the list
reported that this was possible, but I finally just said that it was easier
to create a backup control file outside RMAN and use that.
The RMAN information needed to restore is probably still available in the
control file. I found that to simplify the type of recovery you are
attempting.
RMAN will need the archive logs that were created during the time it was
performing the backup in order to get the data files back to the same SCN.
This task took me awhile, so be patient.

Dear List,
Iam following the procedure to restore database from RMAN backup from HOST_A
to HOST_B with a recovery catalog.
1. I copied the init.ora file to HOST_B
2. on HOST_B, I made an entry in oratab for 'rtest' database and switch to
'rtest' database using . oraenv
3. issued: rman target / catalog rman/rman@<Connect String>
4. startup nomount;
5. run {
allocate channel ch1 type 'sbt_tape';
restore controlfile;
}
It generates the following error. "list backup of controlfile" is showing up
the backup entries.
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

ORA-19511: sbtrestore: Backup file not found.
RMAN-10031: ORA-19624 occurred during call to

Could someone help me in resolving the issue.
Thanks,
