Dbvisit Standby version 7 supports the use of:
- Automatic Storage Management (ASM) - 11g and above recommended to use all features provided by Dbvisit Standby.
- Oracle Managed Files (OMF)
- The use of a Fast/Flash Recovery Area (FRA)
...
General Notes:
- Dbvisit Standby version 7 does not support Oracle versions prior to 9i. If Oracle 8i are used it is recommended to make use of the most recent Dbvisit Standby version 6.
- When using Oracle 10g ASM, the Graceful Switchover feature will not be available.
- If using ASM, it is recommended to make use of Oracle 11g Release 2 and higher (including latest patches).
- Oracle Database 12c Multitenant Architecture (Pluggable Database option) is not currently supported, but this is planned for future release updates.
- If 10g Oracle RAC environments are used, it is recommended that they are patched to the latest patch set, 10.2.0.5. Oracle Grid Infrastructure (11g and above) is recommended, but Dbvisit Standby will work with 10gR2 ASM, with the exception that the Graceful Switchover functionality will not be available.
- It is good practice to ensure the latest patches are applied to both the Grid Infrastructure and Database Homes.
...
Important: The primary and standby server Oracle Software Edition and version should be identical. When using 64bit it is strongly recommended that you use 64bit for both primary and standby and that you do not mix binaries, example having 64bit primary with 32bit standby.
Ignoring the above note and running mixed editions or mixed binaries can lead to unexpected results when performing database activation or graceful switchover.

Storage Requirements
Dbvisit Standby is installed on all servers forming part of the Standby Database configuration. The following system requirements are the minimum required for Dbvisit Standby installation:
...
| Note |
|---|
Dbvisit Standby makes use of a Dbvisit Archive Destination referred to as ARCHDEST. 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 day's worth of archive logs, but capacity to store three days or more is recommended. 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. |
