I had configured the RMAN BACKUP in one of the database and it creates the backupsets. After awhile there was an issue with db as it was crashed, so what did is a normal restore from the database backup set....
Thought it may help other in restoring database from rman backup sets.. It is good practice to check with oracle online documentation before doing any db changes.....

sql 'alter database open';
}
