HP Application Recovery Manager software Integration guide (March 2008)

If the control file and online redo logs are on the same source volumes as datafiles,
the control file is overwritten during the instant recovery. As a consequence, you
must restore the overwritten files from a separate backup before you can perform
database recovery beyond the replica creation time. To avoid this issue, select
the option to keep the current control files when starting a restore.
