Duplicate a database in a new host/server where only incremental level 0 backup is available in oracle 11g

Oracle Version :-11g
Target Database : prim
Target Database Server : server1.soumya.com
IP: 192.168.2.102

Oracle Version :-11g
Auxiliary Database : stand
Auxiliary Database Server : server3.soumya.com
IP:192.168.2.12

Step 1:
Take the incremental level 0 backup of the Target database using RMAN.
In my case, I had the backup of my target database (prim) taken at the location '/u01/bkp'
[oracle@server1 bkp]$ pwd
/u01/bkp

[oracle@server1 bkp]$ ls -ltrh
total 1.1G
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 9.4M Feb 17 15:06 o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20150217T150631_bg62x0o8_.bkp
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall  13M Feb 17 15:08 o1_mf_annnn_TAG20150217T150811_bg63043x_.bkp
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 1.1G Feb 17 15:09 o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20150217T150813_bg6305j3_.bkp
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 9.4M Feb 17 15:09 o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20150217T150813_bg632lxo_.bkp
-rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 8.0K Feb 17 15:09 o1_mf_annnn_TAG20150217T150932_bg632nml_.bkp


Step 2:
Copy these backup pieces from the Target server (location /u01/bkp) to the auxiliary server (location /u01/bkp)
Also, copy the pfile (initprim.ora) of the Target database to the Auxiliary server.

[oracle@server1 ]$ cd /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs
[oracle@server1 ]$ cp initprim.ora /u01/bkp/

[oracle@server1 $ scp -r *.* oracle@192.168.2.12:/u01/

oracle@192.168.2.12's password:
initprim.ora  100% 912Kb 0.9KB/s  00:00    100% 911KB 9.0MB/s  00.00
o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20150217T150631_bg62x0o8_.bkp                                                                  100% 9600KB   9.4MB/s   00:00  
o1_mf_annnn_TAG20150217T150932_bg632nml_.bkp                                                                  100% 8192     8.0KB/s   00:00  
o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20150217T150813_bg6305j3_.bkp                                                                  100% 1060MB  20.0MB/s   00:53  
o1_mf_annnn_TAG20150217T150811_bg63043x_.bkp                                                                  100%   12MB  12.2MB/s   00:00  
o1_mf_ncsnf_TAG20150217T150813_bg632lxo_.bkp                                                                  100% 9600KB   9.4MB/s   00:00  

Step 3:

On the Auxiliary server, edit the pfile that was copied earlier to the desired entries (dump locations, control file location, datafile locations,
if using ASM then specify the desired disk group) and rename it to the desired instance name file (init<SID>.ora). Below is the sample I had it done.

vi initprim.ora

stand.__db_cache_size=16777216
stand.__java_pool_size=20971520
stand.__large_pool_size=4194304
stand.__oracle_base='/u01/app/oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
stand.__pga_aggregate_target=142606336
stand.__sga_target=272629760
stand.__shared_io_pool_size=0
stand.__shared_pool_size=213909504
stand.__streams_pool_size=8388608
*.audit_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/admin/stand/adump'
*.audit_trail='db'
*.compatible='12.1.0.2.0'
*.control_files='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/stand/control01.ctl','/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/stand/control02.ctl'
*.db_block_size=8192
*.db_domain=''
*.db_name='stand'
*.db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area'
*.db_recovery_file_dest_size=4070572032
*.diagnostic_dest='/u01/app/oracle'
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=primXDB)'
*.memory_target=415236096
*.open_cursors=300
*.processes=1000
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'
*.db_file_name_convert='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/stand/'
*.log_file_name_convert='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/prim/','/u01/app/oracle/oradata/stand/'

:wq

Make sure db_file_name_convert and log_file_name_convert parameters are present in pfile else it would
throw error while creating auxiliary database .
Once changes are done rename the pfile with your instance sid and copy it inside ORACLE_HOME/dbs
[oracle@server3] mv initprim.ora initstand.ora
[oracle@server3] cp initstand.ora $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

Step 4:

Create a password file for the Auxiliary Database using the ORAPWD utility.

orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapwstand password=redhat


Step 5:

Start the auxiliary instance using the modified by pfile(initstand.ora)

[oracle@uat ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
[oracle@uat ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=stand

Keep in mind that the auxiliary instance doesnt have any instance running on, only oracle binaries are installed on this.

Step 6 :-
Create the required directory structures are mentioned in pfile.
oracle@server3 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/admin/stand/adump
[oracle@server3 ~]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/oradata/stand/
[oracle@server3  ]$ mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area/stand/

SQL> startup nomount pfile='/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/dbs/initstand.ora'
ORACLE instance started.

Step 6:

Connect the auxiliary instance through RMAN and start the duplication.
The duplication is done by specifying the location of the backup pieces. The command to be used is
DUPLICATE DATABASE TO '<auxiliary dbname>' BACKUP LOCATION '<location of the backup pieces on the auxiliary server>'

[oracle@server3 dbs]$ rman auxiliary /
