Prerequsites
Before you start building standby database you need to have at least 2 OCI Database Systems ready and connected through the same VCN. Here is a list of prerequisites, that need to be fullfilled before you start installation of Dbvisit Software:
VCN Created: Create Virtual Cloud Network(s)
Database Systems created: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/x/H4AE2w
Optionally, you can install 3rd machine, that would serve as a machine for Dbvisit Control Center process. You can check following guide how to do that: https://dbvisit.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DgAD4
Drop Database on Standby Machine
The Database Service is created with database running, but you do not need the database to be running on the standby machine. Dbvisit will create a copy of the primary database there. To drop the database, you can follow this procedure:
| Code Block |
|---|
rman target /
RMAN> startup mount force dba;
RMAN> drop database including backups noprompt; |
