    What state is the database in?

    The generic steps for media recovery using RMAN are as follows:

    Place the database in the appropriate state: mounted or open. For example, mount the database when performing whole database recovery, or open the database when performing online tablespace recovery.

    Shouldn't the database be in mount state for rman database recovery?

    In gneral, it can be open as long as you don't need to recover the system tablespace. You need to offline the affected tablespace before you can restore / recover it though. That error indicates that the tablespace being restored is still online.

    However, for a general restore / recover, it can't be open.
