Since no connectivity from source database is required for this technique of duplicating , there's no need to create static listener configuration in the duplicate host nor adding tns entry to the source tnsnames.ora file.
But a default listener is needed for the database.
The source database is called ent11g2 and the duplicated database will be named dupdb.
1. On the source database create a full database backup and copy the backup to the host where duplicate database will be created. The backup location need not be same as in the source location. For this post the backups will be copied to location "/home/oracle/backup" in the host used for the duplicate database. The source database is using OMF names and using recovery destination for the backups. If auto backup of control file is enabled copy the auto backup control file and the backup sets to the host where the duplicate database will be created.
cd /data/flash_recovery/ENT11G2 ls archivelog autobackup backupset controlfile flashback onlinelog cd autobackup/2013_10_01/ ls o1_mf_s_827667431_94o9gqww_.bkp <==== auto backup of control file scp -C o1_mf_s_827667431_94o9gqww_.bkp 192.168.0.99:/home/oracle/backup o1_mf_s_827667431_94o9gqww_.bkp 100% 10MB 10.2MB/s cd backupset/2013_10_01 $ scp -C * 192.168.0.99:/home/oracle/backup o1_mf_annnn_TAG20131001T113643_94o9fw2g_.bkp 100% 14MB 6.9MB/s 00:02 o1_mf_annnn_TAG20131001T113710_94o9gpnp_.bkp 100% 11KB 10.5KB/s 00:00 o1_mf_nnndf_TAG20131001T113645_94o9fxjn_.bkp 100% 2170MB 13.2MB/s 02:45That's the only time the source database is involved. Rest of the steps happen in the host used for the duplication.
2. Create password file for the duplicate database. This is not a must for the duplication (this method of duplication will work even without a password file) but may be required later on when the duplicate database is in use.
orapwd file=orapwdupdb password=password ignorecase=y3. Create the directory for the audit files. Without this duplication would fail with audit trail set to OS.
mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/admin/dupdb/adump4. Create an init file with the db_name parameter set in it.
cat initdupdb.ora db_name='dupdb'5. Start the duplicate database in the nomount mode.
export ORACLE_SID=dupdb SQL> startup nomount;6. Connect to the duplicate database using an rman auxiliary connection

RMAN Duplicate Database From RAC ASM To RAC ASM [ID 461479.1]
Update 17 August 2015
Duplicating a database from ASM to FS with OMF. The db_name is asangapu and the db_unique_name is asangauat. db_name could only be 8 characters long and duplication fails if db_name is set longer than that. Set ORACLE_SID to db_unique_name value and also the directories will contain the db_unique_name.
cat initasangauat.ora db_name='asangapu' export ORACLE_SID=asangauat mkdir -p /opt/app/oracle/admin/asangauat/adumpCreation of control files fails if the directory path doesn't exists.
