The database must know where are the files. If you move them from the OS, the database will not be aware of it. But there is a database tool to copy or move files and update the database repository (controlfile). It's RMAN. With RMAN you can either:
- update the repository after you've moved the file from the OS
- or do the both: move and update the repository
RMAN> CATALOG
I have the following archived logs in the /u02/DEMO/fast_recovery_area/DEMO11/archivelog/2015_06_23 directory:

the repository (in the controlfile) still have the old location. If I need the redologs to recover the database, then it will fail.

which means that the database do not know any archived logs now.
I did only one part of the job. Now I need to register the new location with the CATALOG command:

The file names may have changed (because of the %U format) but who cares? Only RMAN should know what is inside the files. You have a repository (controlfile or rman catalog) which knows all the attributes about the files (DBID, thread#, sequence#, SCN, etc) so better rely on that rather than on a file name and timestamp.
Look at the files, they are now in my third destination:

Conclusion
Which one do you prefer? Managing database files from the OS is old-style. You are doing your backups with RMAN, so why not use RMAN to do any operations on the files. Then you are sure that the repository is up to date. When you will need your archivelogs to recover, you don't want to waste time finding where an archived logs has been moved one day by a collegue that forgot to re-catalog them because of the emergency situation.
