Finally we come to solution. These suggestions really helped me a lot. Backup
was always from one node but I checked naming for cluster nodes and node
names were different. Future problems where avoid;-) But real problem was
with RMAN catalog. Archive logs existed on medias, also in TSM but RMAN
labeled them as expired. So Oracle admin forced RMAN to not set archive logs
to expired state and recovery went ok.
