This section will cover the installation of Dbvisit Standby on Microsoft Windows systems.
The current recommended and supported Operating Systems (Windows based) include:
- Windows 2003 (32bit and 64bit)
- Windows 2008 (32bit and 64bit)
Important pre-requisite steps on windows:
- It is recommended to install Dbvisit Standby as the same user that installed the Oracle Database Software
- Ensure that the user that will be used to run Dbvisit Standby is part of the windows ORA_DBA group
- Open the Dbvnet port 7890 on both primary and standby server. This port should not be blocked by the local Windows Firewall.
- Open the Dbvserver Web-based interface port 8081 (default for http) and if you are planning on using https, open port 8443.
| Note |
|---|
The default ports used by Dbvisit Standby on Windows based environments are 7890 for the network communication (Dbvnet) and 8081 used for the Web-based interface (Dbvserver). By default the web-based interface is enabled on HTTP (port 8081) only. If HTTPS is required, the dbvserver.conf file will need to be updated (discussed later in this section) and Dbvserver service restarted. |
