do a "shutdown abort"
then do a "startup nomount"
you then need to restore the controlfile from the backup;
then you can restore the database

ok - thats restored your controlfie which is great;
all you need to do now is to restore the database;
in rman issue: "restore database"
after that issue "recover database"
thats should do it!

rememeber if your controlfile was the last thing you backed up after the database your fine - however if its the first thing you backed up you will need to register your backup pieces in rman using:
CATALOG BACKUPPIECE '/2012_12_31//o1_mf_annnn_
do this for each piece
CATALOG BACKUPPIECE '/2012_12_31//o1_mf_annnn_
do this for each piece

After that this is the problem..

This link takes you to disaster recovery, which is more or less the scenario that you are trying to test. The reason that you are getting an error is that you have deleted the control file and that needs to be restored first.
