Welcome to Dbvisit StandbyMP setup version v12.1.0DEV-49-ga7643cd35.
? Please carefully read the end-user license agreement at https://dbvisit.com/eula. Do you agree to the terms of this agreement? Yes
? Which directory should the software be installed into? /usr/dbvisit
- - - You are now configuring the Dbvisit StandbyMP Agent - - -
The Agent will listen on the following discovered addresses:
- 127.0.0.1
- 10.0.2.15
- 192.168.8.231
? Agent File Transfer Port: 7890
? Fully Qualified Domain Name for this host: czlin0231
? Fully Qualified Domain Name for the Control Center: czlin0232
? Agent Communications Port: 5533
Each Dbvisit StandbyMP Agent and the Dbvisit StandbyMP Control Center must
be configured with the same passphrase. This is how we know that they are all
intended to be part of the same system. Please specify a strong passphrase - we
suggest at least 12 characters, containing at least 2 numbers and 2 symbols.
? Passphrase: *
? Confirm Passphrase: *
- - - Dbvisit StandbyMP Agent configuration finished - - -
- - - Ready to perform installation - - -
? Do you wish to proceed with the setup using the supplied configuration options? Proceed with setup
- - - Performing installation - - -
Copying software files to '/usr/dbvisit'...
Writing Agent configuration file '/usr/dbvisit/standbymp/conf/dbvagentmanager.ini'...
- - - File creation complete - - -

Install Directory: /usr/dbvisit
Fully Qualified Domain Name for this host: czlin0231
Fully Qualified Domain Name for the Control Center: czlin0232
Agent Communications Port: 5533
Agent File Transfer Port: 7890
- - - Installation Summary - - -
The following actions have been performed:
- Installed Dbvisit StandbyMP Agent software into: /usr/dbvisit/standbymp
- Agent settings are available in the configuration file: /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/conf/dbvagentmanager.ini
- Generated new security certificates in: /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/certificates
- - - INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL - - -
To enable the installed Dbvisit StandbyMP components to run as system services, you will need to execute some commands as the "root" user in order to complete the setup.
To install the system service(s), you can run, substituting the name of the user to run as if it is different from the current user:
sudo /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/bin/dbvagentmanager service install --user oracle
To start the system service(s), you can run:
sudo /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/bin/dbvagentmanager service start
|
|
Directly after the installation of dbvagentmanager is finished, you have the option to create dbvagentmanager systemctl service by copying and running the last lines in the installer output:
| Code Block |
|---|
sudo /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/bin/dbvagentmanager service install --user oracle
sudo /usr/dbvisit/standbymp/bin/dbvagentmanager service start |
Creating systemctl service for dbvagentmanager will ensure dbvagentmanager will automatically startup after server reboot.
1.4 Install Dbvisit StandbyMP dbvcontrol
This step needs to be done on server where you intend to install dbvcontrol (separate host or standby server).
You can start the installation by running in install-control file:
| Code Block |
|---|
cd /tmp/dbvisit
./install-control-v12.1 |
You will need to respond to following prompts during installation:
| Info |
|---|
When installing dbvcontrol on standby server, choose same dbvisit base as you’ve chosen for dbvagentmanager, do not separate dbvcontrol installation from dbvagentmanager |
Prompt | Example Value | Comment |
|---|
Please carefully read the end-user license agreement at https://dbvisit.com/eula. Do you agree to the terms of this agreement? | Yes | Installation will proceed only with response “Yes” |
Which directory should the software be installed into? | /usr/dbvisit | Dbvisit Base directory you prepared earlier |
Control Center Web Server Port: (4433) | | There’s usually no need to change the port, press enter to accept suggested value. |
Agent Communications Port: (5533) | | There’s usually no need to change the port, press enter to accept suggested value. |
Passphrase: | Admin123 | passphrase used for encrypting communication between dbvagentmanagers and dbvcontrol. Must match on all hosts. There is no complexity requirement. |
