We are running Oracle 19.15 on Red Hat 7.
On Friday, one of my co-workers tried to convert the physical standby to a
snapshot standby to use it to refresh another database. He got an error saying
more standby was needed in order to convert. Looking into the alert log, there
are messages saying that several files are "fuzzy". He re-established the data
guard, but now the standby database says that all of the files are "fuzzy".
