1. Introduction

Note

The examples provided are of Dbvisit Standby Version 9.0.x, there should not be any changes on how this is being implemented in Dbvisit Standby Version 10

The purpose of this Deployment guide is to demonstrate the way in which Dbvisit Standby 9.0 software can be used within the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Database As A Service (DBaaS) or Database System (DBS) space. In this guide, we focus on both the Primary and Standby databases hosted on DBS environments.  This guide will offer instructions for configuring both the OCI DBS machines as well as the installation and setup of Dbvisit Standby version 9. 


Info
The setup will be for a vanilla Oracle 19c Single Instance Container Database when configured using the OCI portal for DBS. The default configuration is to have an ASM filesystem. The Standby server will be built the same way, however the pre-installed database will be removed prior to the Standby Database Creation. The options for configuring Dbvisit Standby 9.0 in OCI are in no way limited to this, it has simply been chosen for demonstration purposes.

...

Info

We opted for the shape 'Virtual Machine' (4) and it comes with a pre-created database on each host. The Bare Metal option does not have any binaries or pre-installed Database and is in no way different from installing Dbvisit Version 9 in a local data center.


The basic configuration of 1 node and 1 core was chosen as well as Oracle Standard Edition (5)

...

Download the latest version of Dbvisit Standby 9.0 for OEL7 and SCP to each of the cloud hosts /tmp as the opc user.
