Dbvisit Standby version 7 makes use of a new directory structure in comparison to the previous versions 5 and 6. The default location on Linux for version 5 and 6 was /usr/local/dbvisit but in version 7 the default location has now changed to:
| No Format |
|---|
/usr/dbvisit |
You can, however, still install version 7 into any other custom location, example /opt/dbvisit. It is recommended not to install Dbvisit Standby in the home directory of the oracle Unix account (/home/oracle).
| Note |
|---|
On Linux it is possible to have both version 6 and 7 installed side by side, but only one should be run at a time. Dbvisit Standby version 7 repository owner during installation defaults to "dbvisit7" and will not affect the default version 6 standby repository user which was "dbvisit". This option can be used to first configure and test version 7 in the environment and once up and running you can remove the version 6 software and only use version 7. |
The following section will provide you with the detailed steps required to perform a new installation of Dbvisit Standby version 7.
