R11 recovery

Question

Hi;
I need help :)
The senerio is:
I have 11.5.10.2 instance on linux i have cold backup and rman backup ok?
i install new linux and copy cold backup-rman backup to this new server. I close 11.5.10.2 and server
I give same IP and hostname to my new linux server. created 2 user as oravis and applvis, give permission to visdata and visdb-archivelog(folder) for oravis
When i connect sqlplus with oravis and say startup oracle is opening. But i want to make recovery by RMAN!
so i rename visdata folder and connect sqlplus and run this:
SQL> startup force mount;
ORACLE instance started.

RMAN> STARTUP NOMOUNT;

Hi hussein;
I worked all weekend and i guess i handle problem;
I followed those steps;
rman target /
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/u01/archivelog/ctrl_%F';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT   '/u01/archivelog/backup_db_%d_s%s_p%p_%T' MAXPIECESIZE 5120 M
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
exit
rman target /
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE;
SQL 'ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT';
backup archivelog all;
BACKUP DATABASE;
And then i copied file from machine A to B; ( Upper process done on machine A)
And on B machine:
Copied ORACLE_HOME from machine A to B. Created user as oravis then give permission for ORACLE_HOME on machine B; then
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

Redo Buffers               10629120 bytes
ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info
so i started to open db nomoun mode:
SQL> startup nomount;
ORACLE instance started.

SQL>
wiht rman:
RMAN> RESTORE CONTROLFILE;
S+tarting restore at 30-JUL-09+

then i try:

Finished restore at 31-JUL-09
then i open db on mount mode;
SQL> alter database mount;
Database altered.
RMAN>recover database;
and then
RMAN>restoder database;
And all fine now
thanks for helping me my friend. I need one more time for your knowledge and advice.
My senerio is i have one instance and it becomes down or burn etc... So my new machine has same hostname and IP... The question is if i want to stand up my db on different hostname and Ip, is there any way to make it?( as i know i can do it by clon process but is there any other way to make it?)
Thanks a lot
YOU ARE THE BEST+
