To configure rsh the .rhosts file is created under the home directory of the Unix or Linux user that is running Dbvisit Standby. For a normal installation this will be oracle. Ensure that rsh is installed and is running as part of the inetd or xinetd service.
On the primary server:
[oracle@avisit01]$cd $HOME [oracle@avisit01]$vi .rhosts
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
Add the name of the standby server. Add the alias as well as the fully qualified name.
avisit03.avisit.co.nz oracle avisit03 oracle
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
Exit out of vi and change the permission on the .rhosts file to rw for the owner only:
[oracle@avisit01]$chmod 600 .rhost
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
On the standby server:
[oracle@avisit03]$cd $HOME [oracle@avisit03]$vi .rhosts
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
Add the name of the standby server. Add the alias as well as the fully qualified name.
avisit01.avisit.co.nz oracle avisit01 oracle
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
Exit out of vi and change the permission on the .rhosts file to rw for the owner only:
[oracle@avisit03]$chmod 600 .rhosts
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
To test the rsh execute the following command on the standby server:
[oracle@avisit03]$rsh avisit01 ls .. ..
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
To test the rsh execute the following command on the primary server:
[oracle@avisit03]$rsh avisit01 ls .. ..
In this example avisit01 is the primary server and avisit03 is the standby server
RSH is now setup and configured. For more information on rsh, please consult the man pages in Unix or Linux.
