Standby Server
22. Go to the standby server and double click on the Dbvisit Standby installation executable.
23. Accept the license terms.
24. Please ensure that the windows account that is used to install Dbvisit Standby is the same account that installed the Oracle software (it also must be the same account as used on the primary server).
25. The components to install can be chosen. By default all components should be chosen. Dbvisit Standby is bundled with Bitvise WinSSHD and Bitvise Tunnelier software to securely transfer the database updates to the standby server. If an alternative SSH (secure shell) method is already installed, then this can be used.
26. Choose the install location for Dbvisit Standby.
27. Choose the install location for Bitvise WinSSHD (www.bitvise.com). This is the SSH service that accepts secure transfers.
28. Choose the install location for Bitvise Tunnelier (www.bitvise.com). This is the secure SSH client that transfers the updates.
29. Please specify if this is the primary server. Answer No.
30. The Dbvisit software will be installed.
31. The Dbvserver Windows service will be created. The current Windows account password is needed to start the service. Please enter the password when requested.
32. The Dbvserver service has been created.
Setting up SSH connection between standby and primary servers
Dbvisit Standby uses an ssh connection between the standby and primary servers to manage the standby database. Bitvise software is used to configure and setup the ssh connection.
Bitvise WinSSHD Setup
33. Bitvise WinSSHD will now be installed in the background.
34. On completion a message will be displayed.
35. The WinSSHD service will be started.
Bitvise Tunnelier Setup
36. Bitvise Tunnelier will now be installed in the background.
37. On completion a message will be displayed.
SSH2 Setup
38. SSH2 (secure shell) will now be configured. Several background processes will start. The processes will generate unique SSH private and public encryption keys. These keys will be loaded into WinSSHD.
39. Now please copy over the SSH encryption keys specified in the README file displayed during the primary setup. Once the files are copied, click OK.
40. The configuration of SSH will continue. Click OK.
41. WinSSHD will need to cache the windows password of the current user. Note this is the password of the current user on the current server (not the password of the primary server).
42. WinSSHD configuration is completed. If a firewall is used, please ensure port 22 is open on the firewall. Please also ensure that the SSH2 directory under the Dbvisit Standby directory is secured by only allowing administrators access to this directory.
43. The System Readiness check will be performed which test the connection between the standby and the primary server.
44. Enter the details to connect to the primary server to complete the test.
45. Ensure the network connection is correct.
46. Dbvisit Standby installation on the standby server is completed.
