Task 11 (Migrate Database to RAC)
We must use RMAN to migrate the data files to ASM disk groups. All data files will be migrated to the newly created disk group, DATA. The redo logs and control files are created in DATA.
Step 1 Migrate Datafile & controle file to ASM.

Connected.
SQL> alter system set db_create_file_dest=’+DB_DATA’;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set control_files='+DB_DATA/cf1.dbf' scope=spfile;
