How to recover corrupted data blocks using 'recover datafile' RMAN syntax on a system critical datafile

This post continues a series of previous posts related to the recovery process of corrupt data blocks:
1) How to recover contiguous corrupted data blocks using 'recover datafile' RMAN syntax;
2) How to recover sparse corrupted data blocks using 'recover datafile' RMAN syntax;

What does it happen when a corrupt block is related to SYSTEM datafile ?
Let's simulate this scenario:
[oracle@localhost trace]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf bs=8k conv=notrunc seek=1000 count=5
DBVERIFY detects your SYSTEM datafile is corrupt. Five data blocks are no more available.
[oracle@localhost trace]$ dbv file=/home/oracle/app/oracle/oradata/orcl/system01.dbf blocksize=8192

It worked. And the view doesn't contain any data.
SQL> select * from v$database_block_corruption;

no rows selected
So the recovery process of a corrupt block of the SYSTEM tablespace is the same and there is no need to bounce the instance.
Next step will be about how to perform a recovery when the first block of a datafile, containing the datafile header, becomes corrupt.
That's all and happy birthday to me :)

Hi,, I tried to corrupt and rover system tablespace in 11.2.0.3 as you said. But I see, once you corrupt the system tablespace, the instance going down and dont see any new connections happening. I had existing sqlplus and rman session and that was working. Once I tried to restore, I got below error.

the above step did not work. I was forced to bounce the database in mount mode and do the following.

1. restore datafile 1;
2. recover datafile 1;
3. alter database open;

Hi, thank you for the info. Actually the v$database_block_corruption worked find and I cna find a list of corrupted blocks in it,but 'recover corruption list;' didn't work. The message comes up stating "corruption" as a keyword is not accepted and it expects like "database, filespace, ...". So I checked Oracle docs and I found 'blockrecover corruption list;' which stopped saying it work with Enterprise edition. My Oracle is 10.2.0.4 which I cannot find anywhere. Will you direct me to where I can find it?
Thank you
