Scenario:
1) We want to restore the production database which is running on two-node RAC environment in a test non-RAC environment
2) We want to restore the backup residing on ASM disk groups in a non-ASM file system.
Note:
The production database orcl has two instances named orcl1 and orcl2. The database will be restored in the test environment as single instance database named orcl.
The production database database files and FRA are located on the ASM disk +DATA and the file system location on the target server where the files will be restored will be /u01/app/oracle/oradata/orcl. The FRA will be the file system location /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
The database files will be OMF in this case. By using a different SET NEWNAME command we can if we prefer not restore the files as OMF. For easier manageability I would prefer not to use OMF but in this example OMF is shown.
These are the backupset pieces of the database, control file and archivelog backups which are located on the source server in the ASM disk group +DATA.
+DATA/orcl/backupset/2013_02_18/nnndf0_tag20130218t093350_0.345.807701631 +DATA/orcl/backupset/2013_02_18/ncnnf0_tag20130218t093811_0.337.807701893 +DATA/orcl/backupset/2013_02_18/annnf0_tag20130218t093927_0.325.807701967
On the source server we create a directory on the local file system where we will copy these files out from the ASM disk group. We can also NFS mount a remote file system which has adequate disk space in case the backup pieces are large in size and we do not have adequate space on the local file system.
Since it is 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure, we connect as the grid user who owns the GI software and use the asmcmd cp command to copy files from ASM to file system.

Now scp these files from the file system on the source server to a file system on the target server
Copy the password file and init.ora of one of the RAC instances from the source server to target server and make the required changes as we will bring up the database on the target server as a non-RAC single instance database
For example, this is how the init.ora for the single instance database orcl would look like

On the target server, set the environment and start the database in NOMOUNT mode.

We now need to perform a recovery of the database
This is the script we will use.
Note how we arrive at the sequence number 145
run {
set until sequence 145 thread 1;
recover database;
}
We need to identify the archive log sequence number which we will use in the SET UNTIL command. RMAN will perform recovery of the database until the log sequence number that we need to determine.
Run the RMAN command LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG.
Note the last or latest archive log backup for each thread (since this backup was taken from a RAC database).
Then among the two archive log sequence numbers, identify the one which has the lower NEXT_SCN number.
That will be the archive log sequence that we need to make a note of.
Remember, we need to add 1 to this number which is then used in the SET UNTIL SEQUENCE clause of the RMAN RECOVER command.
For example, we see that for thread 1, the most recent archive log backup available belongs to log sequence number 144 while for thread 2 the most recent archive log backup available belongs to log sequence number 139 .
Comparing, the NEXT_SCN value for both those sequence numbers, we can see that for sequence 144 , the NEXT_SCN value is lower (736746 compared with 736760).
Thrd Seq Low SCN Low Time Next SCN Next Time 1 144 736706 28-MAR-12 736746 28-MAR-12 .... ..... 2 139 736740 28-MAR-12 736760 28-MAR-12
