Clearing standby activation ID 2873610446 (0xab47d0ce)
The primary database controlfile was created using the
'MAXLOGFILES 5' clause.
The resulting standby controlfile will not have enough
available logfile entries to support an adequate number
of standby redo logfiles. Consider re-creating the
primary controlfile using 'MAXLOGFILES 8' (or larger).
Use the following SQL commands on the standby database to create
standby redo logfiles that match the primary database:
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl1.f' SIZE 10485760;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl2.f' SIZE 10485760;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl3.f' SIZE 10485760;
ALTER DATABASE ADD STANDBY LOGFILE 'srl4.f' SIZE 10485760;

Why don't you try what was suggested above?

The awk script prints all lines from the start pattern, "Nov 28" until the end pattern, "Nov 29". The sed script deletes the last line, i.e. the "Nov 29" line.
