I'm trying to restore an spfile as the first step in a cloning procedure from a Simpana backup of a 12c DB (TEST44) to it's duplicate (TEST15). The Source DB has been successfully backed up using Simpana. Autobackup has been set:

CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default

I can list the backup set that the restore is using:

    BS Key  Type LV Size       Device Type Elapsed Time Completion Time
------- ---- -- ---------- ----------- ------------ ---------------
30      Full    128.50M    SBT_TAPE    00:00:04     18-JUN-18
        `BP Key: 30   Status`: AVAILABLE  Compressed: NO  Tag: TAG20180618T164547
        Handle: c-958109427-20180618-03   Media: V_453862_1340469
  SPFILE Included: Modification time: 18-JUN-18
  SPFILE db_unique_name: TEST44
  Control File Included: Ckp SCN: 975546       Ckp time: 18-JUN-18

The target DB is mounted. I need to restore the spfile before I can restore the controlfiles but I'm hitting the following error:

RMAN> 2> 3> 4> 5> 6> 7> 8> 9> 10> 11> 12> 13> 14> 15> 16>

Running: restore spfile to '/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbs/spfileTEST15.ora' from 'c-958109427-20180618-03

Any pointers on what I should be looking at in order to resolve this? Many thanks.

This issue was the result of an incorrectly configured Commvault client installation on the target host. Using the Commcell GUI it was possible to see the host was not in a usable state. A full de-install and re-install of the CV client fixed the issue.
