ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-19527: physical standby redo log must be renamed
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/oracle/redo1/ORCL/ ORCL _1A.rdo'

RMAN-05535: warning: All redo log files were not defined properly.
ORACLE error from auxiliary database: ORA-19527: physical standby redo log must be renamed
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: '/oracle/redo1/ORCL/ORCL _2A.rdo'

Though this didn't stop the data guard replication, the customer wanted to get-rid the message. Starting with v10g, this was an expected behavior to improve the switchover and failover. With v10g, when MRP is started, it will attempt to clear the online log files.

If PRIMARY and STANDBY has the same directory structure then you will see these errors. This is an expected behavior when you don’t set log_file_name_convert parameter. You can get rid-off the error message just setup dummy value

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET log_file_name_convert='dummy','dummy';

You should not see ORA messages any more in the alert.log file.
