ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1 during restore

Moved to my blog:

http://www.aamirharoon.com/11gr2/ora-01180-can-not-create-datafile-1-during-restore/

It's been a while since I posted any blog.  My three boys keep me very busy :)

I came across this error at work and thought it was worth mentioning. Maybe someone else can benefit from it and not spend hours looking for solution.

During a Disaster Recovery exercise, my task was to drop already existing database (it was left there from previous restore) and restore database from current backup.

It is important to note that a database already existed in ARCHIVELOG mode (later on it'll become clear why I am mentioning this).  

So, after deleting the database using dbca, I executed restore database command.  Immediately after I got the ugly, confusing not enough information error :(


RMAN-03002: failure of restore command at 09/10/2015 17:04:24
ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1
ORA-01110: data file 1: '+DG_DATA_01/db1/datafile/system.211.849181900'
