Unable to restore a database that is using Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) storage unless another Oracle ACFS database is in the system.
The command odacli irestore-database fails when the database is using Oracle ACFS storage and the required directories are not in the appliance.
The errors might look similar to the following:
RMAN-03002: failure of startup command at 02/13/2018 07:03:59 RMAN-04014: startup failed: ORA-01261: Parameter db_create_online_log_dest_1 destination string cannot be translated ORA-01262: Stat failed on a file destination directory Linux-x86_64 Error: 2: No such file or directory

Workaround
Before restoring a database, create a database on Oracle ACFS storage using the Web Console or the command odacli create-database. When you create a database on Oracle ACFS, it also creates the storage structure and directories required for future databases.
