Restoring Standby Controlfile results in ORA-00600

I received ORA-00600 error while restoring Controlfile on a RAC-standby database (Physical). We purposely disabled redo log shipping on the Primary database and as a result the Standby Database was lagging way behind the production. Instead of applying all the Archive logs I took the shortest path of taking SCN based RMAN backup on the Primary and apply it to the Standby.

While doing so, I took a backup of Controlfile from primary database and shipped it to the standby site. I was able to successfully restore the controlfile as shown below:

RMAN> restore controlfile from '/tmp/control01.ctl';

Starting restore at 08-JUN-10
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=1083 instance=qtprod1 devtype=DISK

channel ORA_DISK_1: copied control file copy
output filename=+DATADG/control01.ctl
output filename=+FRADG/control02.ctl
output filename=+DATADG/control03.ctl
Finished restore at 08-JUN-10

RMAN> exit

However, while mounting the database with this new controlfile, I was greeted with ORA-00600. Below is the error:

SQL> alter database mount standby database;
alter database mount standby database
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kccsga_update_ckpt_5], [1453], [0],
[62], [0], [], [], []

Searching for the above error in "Troubleshoot an ORA-600 or ORA-7445 Error Using the Error Lookup Tool" did not provide any information. :(

Looking back at the steps that lead me to ORA-00600 error, I found the solution to the problem. The controlfile should have been restored as a standby CF. After correcting the mistake database happily mounted.

RMAN> restore standby controlfile from '/tmp/control01.ctl';

Starting restore at 08-JUN-10
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: sid=1082 instance=biodb1 devtype=DISK

channel ORA_DISK_1: copied control file copy
output filename=+DATADG/control01.ctl
output filename=+FRADG/control02.ctl
output filename=+DATADG/control03.ctl
Finished restore at 08-JUN-10

RMAN> exit

SQL> alter database mount standby database;

Database altered.

After applying the RMAN backup, standby database got in sync with the primary.
