Do not worry log on to asm and locate where the spfile is

ASMCMD> cd +DATA/CDBRAC/PARAMETERFILE/
ASMCMD> ls -l
Type           Redund  Striped  Time             Sys  Name
PARAMETERFILE  UNPROT  COARSE   APR 29 13:00:00  Y    spfile.271.909835045
ASMCMD>

Now you want this under +DATA/CDBRAC as per the error so create an alias in ASM

ASMCMD> pwd
+DATA/CDBRAC
ASMCMD>
ASMCMD> mkalias +DATA/cdbrac/PARAMETERFILE/spfile.271.909835045 spfilecdbrac.ora
ASMCMD> ls -l
