Recover a database using RMAN but failing to open redo

articles: 

When using RMAN to restore and recover the database, it seems to work OK - no obvious errors during the restore / recovery, as far as I can see. The issue seems to be when I try to 'alter database open resetlogs'... after this the database shuts down. At this point, I don't really care about losing some of our data, this is just a test system, my main concern is how to get the database working again.

Oracle version 12.1.0.

1. I startup with nomount.

RMAN> startup nomount;
