Ora-1276 cannot add controlfile - rman duplicate asm database

Question

Hi,
I am trying to duplicate an asm database olddb -> asm database dup in the same diskgroup. somehow got error 0ra-1276 Cannot add file +DISK1/dup/controlfile/current.1669.754164181.  File has an Oracle Managed Files file name.
There is nothing in the asm directory +DISK1/dup/controllfile before I run the rman.
in the initdup.ora
control_files=+DISK1,+DISK1 <--- just the disk group, not the file name
db_name='dup'
db_file_name_convert=+DISK1,+DISK1/dup
log_file_name_convert=+DISK1,+DISK1

RMAN-06136: ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-01276: Cannot add file +DISK1/dup/controlfile/current.1669.754164181.  File has an Oracle Managed Files file name.Are you sure is it running under pfile?
Ok, connect to auxiliary intance and post
show parameter db_create
show parameter control_filesIn your pfile, Have you mentioned single quotes?
If your database with OMF then if you give it as below. as there is some work around
Control_files='+DISK1/DUP/controlfile/control01.ctl','+DISK1/DUP/controlfile/control02.ctl'
