ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

Cause :- This error can occur for lost/corrupted any control file.
In my situation I have unfortunately lost one of control file from two files.

Solution :- Create pfile from spfile > Edit pfile > Change "*.control_files=" parameter. Open database using pfile.

SQL> select status from v$instance;
