You need to use "set newname" before you restore your database.
You can refer this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmdupad.htm
RMAN> connect target /
connected to target database: TEST (DBID=2033933270)
RMAN> run
2> {
3> startup nomount;
4> restore controlfile from 'location/DF_T770331608_S104_P1';
5> alter database mount;
6> restore database;
7> recover database;
8> alter database open resetlogs;
9> }Also, you have connected to the database TEST, so is the TEST database the new database that you want to create using restore method ?
If yes, then how the status of the database is OPEN ? The database status should be nomount before you restore the controlfile.
If the database is not started, then:
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (not started)
If the database is in nomount stage, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (not mounted)
If the database is in mount stage, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (DBID=xxxxxxxx, not open)
If the database is open mode, then
RMAN shows as "connected to target database: TEST (DBID=xxxxxx)
In the output you mentioned, RMAN is showing the status of the database as opened. So if TEST is the database you are creating, then it has to be in nomount stage. In your case, it looks like TEST is the primary database from which you have taken the backup.
