It's not recommended to install the components in the default home directory of Oracle/SQL Server. Unlike, the previous versions in standby multiplatform there are two installers, the agent and console. The agent must be installed on all systems having the database software. The console is recommended to be installed in a separate machine or on the standby server.

Note

Most of the ports remain the same for standby Multiplatform. Below are the ports on Multiplatform.

Control Center Web Server Port: 4433
Agent Communications Port: 5533
Agent File Transfer Port: 7890

Installing Standby Multiplatform on Unix

You can follow these basic steps discussed in this section to install Standby Multiplatform. This section covers the installation of Standby Multiplatform on a Non-RAC environment (Single Instance configuration).

The Standby installation uses approximately 250MB of disk space, but as trace files and log files will be stored in this location, 512MB free space is the recommended minimum.

In multiplatform the default installation location is /usr/dbvisit, it is also known and referred to as the Dbvisit Base (DBVISIT_BASE) directory.

Step 1: Create a "Dbvisit Base" Directory

The first step is to create the Dbvisit Base directory. This is the directory into which Dbvisit Standby will be installed. The default location is /usr/dbvisit

This directory should be owned by the Oracle/SQLServer Database software owner.

The following steps can be executed as the "root" user to create the directory and set correct permission. This example shows an installation for the Oracle database:

Code Block

oracle@dbvlin101[/root]:# cd /usr
oracle@dbvlin101[/usr]# mkdir dbvisit
oracle@dbvlin101[/usr]# chown -R oracle:oinstall dbvisit
oracle@dbvlin101[/usr]# ls -ald /usr/dbvisit
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oinstall 6 Jun 24 11:46 /usr/dbvisit

Step 2: Download Latest Software

The first step is to download the latest available version from the Dbvisit web site https://www.dbvisit.com

Once the software is downloaded, you can copy it to a temporary location on your server.

Important:

Do not install Dbvisit Standby as the Unix "root" user.
When you download the installer, please make sure you download it into a temporary folder and that the installer is run from there. Do not extract and run the installer from the location where you want the files to be installed.

In this example, we create a temporary directory called MP in /home/oracle and copy the software download into this directory.

Code Block
[oracle@dbvel71 ~]$ mkdir MP [oracle@dbvel71 ~]$ cd MP/ [oracle@dbvel71 MP]$ pwd /home/oracle/MP

Now copy the installer file into the /home/oracle/MP location.

Code Block
[oracle@dbvel71 MP]$ ls -lrt -rw-r--r--. 1 oracle oinstall 145919908 Dec 12 13:12 standby-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710.tar.gz [oracle@dbvel71 MP]$

Step 3: Extract Software Install Package

The next step is to extract the software package and then check if their permissions for agent and console installer have execute permission. First, use the gunzip utility to unzip the software and use tar -xf to extract the archive. The steps are shown below.

Code Block

[oracle@dbvel71 MP]$ gunzip standby-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710.tar.gz
[oracle@dbvel71 MP]$ tar -xf standby-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710.tar
[oracle@dbvel71 MP]$ ls -al
total 303688
drwxr-xr-x.  2 oracle oinstall      4096 Dec 12 13:14 .
drwx------. 11 oracle oinstall      4096 Dec 12 13:10 ..
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 oracle oinstall 126913353 Dec  8 18:35 install-agent-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710
-rwxr-xr-x.  1 oracle oinstall  28568135 Dec  8 18:34 install-control-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710
-rw-r--r--.  1 oracle oinstall 155484160 Dec 12 13:12 standby-v11.0.0RC2-1-gd3c1a710.tar
[oracle@dbvel71 MP]$

There are two installation packages available. install-agent-* and install-control-*. Executing install-agent-* will prompt you for installing the dbvagentmanager (aka agent). Executing install-control-* will prompt you for installing dbvcontrol (aka console, control center).

Step 4: Install standby multiplatform agent manager

The standby multiplatform agent must be installed on both primary and standby servers.

Installing Standby Multiplatform on Windows

Step 1: Windows Installation Pre-requisites

If installing Dbvisit Standby onto a Windows Based environment (Microsoft Windows 2008 and above - 64bit) the following pre-requisite checks should be performed:

The user installing Dbvisit Standby may be a Local or a Domain user.
The user must be part of the following Local Groups
- Local Administrators
- ORA_DBA
- Users
- If using Oracle 12c - Oracle Home DBA group
It is recommended that User Account Control be turned off - not strictly required, but highly recommended.
The user will be granted the "Log On As Service" policy to allow the user to run the Dbvisit Standby Services
When the Installer asks for the user that will be running the Dbvisit Services (Dbvnet, Dbvserver and Dbvagent) it is important that this user is in the Local Administrators and ORA_DBA Groups.
- If you are using Oracle 12c and during the Oracle Software installation you selected the option for Oracle to create a local account to own the Oracle Home and run the services - do not specify this user as the user to run the Dbvisit Standby services. Rather create a new local account with the above-mentioned permission and use it to then run Dbvisit Standby services.
When using temporary backup directories (example d:\temp) during the Create Standby Database (CSD) or Synchronize Standby Database (SYNC) options, you need to make sure that these directories allow for FULL read/write permission for the user running Dbvisit Services as well as for the user that is running the Oracle Database services.

Log on as a Service

Important - when you install Dbvisit Standby and you specify the Windows user and password that will be used to run the Dbvisit Services, this user must have "Log on as a service" permission. Otherwise, you might end up with an error message "specify valid username and password". You can double-check the permission as follow:

Directory Permissions

It is important to make sure that the directories used to store temporary backups - an example where the backups are stored during Create Standby Database (CSD) and Synchronise Standby Database (SYNC) have the Windows Oracle Homeowner added to have full read/write permission. Ensure, correct permissions are provided to custom backup locations for source and target transaction logs for SQL Server.

This also counts for the source dbvisit archivelog destination and target archivelog destinations. If these directories do not have correct permission, the CSD, SYNC or Graceful Switchover processes could fail with errors.

Step 2: Windows agentmanager Installation

The steps for Installing Standby Multiplatform on Windows are easy and no outage is required.

We do recommend that before you install software into a production environment, you always test it first in your development or test environment to make sure you are familiar with the process and required pre-requisite steps.

In this section, we will now review the installation process.

Before you start the installer it is again important to make sure that the user account you are running the installer as and that will be used to run the Dbvisit Standby software must be in the Local Administrators, Users and ORA_DBA Windows Groups for Oracle configuration. Failing to do this can lead to errors during installation. Disabling User Access Control is also recommended.

We recommend you create a new Local Windows account that have the above-mentioned permissions and that this account is used to run the Dbvisit Standby software (it's Services and Windows Schedules).

In the example we will discuss below a new Local account called "dbvisit" is created with the relevant groups assigned. UAC was also disabled.

Before you continue, review the following checklist:

Is port 4433 open for the Central Console
Is port 7890 used by Dbvnet open and available
Is port 5533 used by agent for communication is open and available.

The above ports should be added to the Windows Firewall to allow the Dbvisit Standby components to communicate. If you have a firewall between your Primary and Standby (DR) datacenter please make sure that these ports can be used.

Also, review any AntiVirus software application installed and make sure these do not block the Dbvisit Standby software components.

Note
The passphrase must be same across agentmanager and the control center. This should not be changed for any configuration.

Unlike the previous version, the agent and control center installations are separate installer files. Below we will first look at agent manager installation.

Step 2.1: Accept the license agreement

Step 2.3: Complete the configuration Details

( 1 ) Fully qualified name for the agent host. Here we have provided the short host name but it is recommended to provide the fully qualified host name.

( 2 ) The control center hostname. This is the server on which control center is installed.
