Control Center (GUI) will be the preferred method for performing all the operations in Multiplatform. The CLI exists but must not be used without Dbvisit support supervision.

  • Standby Multiplatform is using Archive Logs to update the standby database.  There should be sufficient space on the Standby Database server to store the archive logs from the primary database server.  It is recommended you have sufficient space to keep at least 1 to 2 days worth of archive logs on disk.  Please make sure you cater for peak load periods during which more redo can be generated.

Note

Standby Multiplatform makes use of a Dbvisit Archive Destination referred to as ARCHDEST (on the standby server) and ARCSOURCE (on the primary server)

This is used to store the archive logs shipped from the primary server to the standby server.   This location is NOT the same as the database archivelog destination.

This location should be big enough to keep at least 1 to 2 day's worth of archive logs, but the capacity to store three days or more is recommended.  

For example, if you generate 2GB worth of redo (archive logs) on the primary in one day, you should have at least 2GB as an absolute minimum free space on the standby in the folder specified as the ARCHDEST.

2. Create a Configuration For Filesystem Based Storage

Login to the central console from the web browser (preferred browsers are Firefox, Chrome). The console login URL is in the below format. For the below example, we have used the Firefox browser. It is always recommended to update your browser to the latest release.

https://<IPV4 address of the server on which control center is installed>:<control center port default is 12345>. In our example, it translates to

4 Create a Configuration on Oracle Database Appliance (ODA)

Note

If you are using ODA machines, create an empty database on standby ODA and manually delete all of it’s files - dbstorage and dbhome will be preserved.

Alternatively, It is possible that you create the dbstorages before creating the standby databases using Dbvisit. Please refer to v10 documentation for the example of creating dbstorage:

Note

For KVM, Dbvisit Multiplatform only supports homogeneous environments with both Primary and Standby servers being ODA KVM.
