All -

Oracle 9i
HP-UX 11.x

I have a primary database on one server and a physical standby database on 
another - databases and servers are identical.  I recently had to move some 
files around on the primary because of tablespace growth and would like to get 
the standby database to have the same structure.  Can anyone tell me how to 
rename data files on a physical standby database?  When I attempted to ALTER 
DATABASE RENAME FILE '…….' TO '…….'; I received the error below…..

ORA-01511: error in renaming log/data files
ORA-01275: Operation RENAME is not allowed if standby file management is
automatic.

I would like to get the physical structure of the standby database to match the 
primary database.

Thanks in advance,
Bill--
