run{
allocate channel c1 device type disk connect 'sys/******@node1-vip:1521/PROD';
allocate channel c2 device type disk connect 'sys/*****@node2-vip:1521/PROD';
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD_df_%t_%s_%p.bak'(database);
backup format '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/archive_%t_%s_%p.bak' archivelog all;
copy current controlfile to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/PROD.ctl';

Hi,
Some tweaks for your script.
echo "Shutdown Database";date
srvctl stop database -d PROD
srvctl status database -d PROD
echo "Database shutdown on";date
echo "Mount Database ";date
srvctl start instance -d PROD -i "PROD1" -o mount1. If you database does not shutdown properly , does your script stops the execution of next step?
2. configure controlfile autobackup on;
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/BACKUP/PRODBKP/%F';(Why you need to configure this every time) ?
It's persistent at db level one time setting (until some other script changes the settings by other dba - else remove that - set the configuration at db level once for all)
