Using RMAN to create single instance standby from 2 node rac

Question

Any advice on the RMAN command to take a non catalog full rman backup from a two node 11gr2 rac node and use it to create the STANDBY single instance.
The RAC two node instance is in ASM (Linux)
The Physical Standby is Normal File System (Linux)
The command that I get from Metalink suggests:
rman target sys/passwd@primary catalog RMAN/RMAN@RMAN auxiliary sys/passwd
RMAN> run {
allocate auxiliary channel C1 device type disk;
duplicate target database for standby;
When I took the rman backup I did not use catalog. Please suggest how to accomplish the same task without catalog. Thanks
