This section will cover the installation of Dbvisit Standby on Microsoft Windows systems.
The current recommended and supported Operating Systems (Windows based) include:
- Windows 2003 (32bit and 64bit)
- Windows 2008 (32bit and 64bit)
Important pre-requisite steps on Windows based environments:
- It is recommended to install Dbvisit Standby as the same user that installed the Oracle Database Software
- Ensure that the user that will be used to run Dbvisit Standby is part of the windows ORA_DBA group
- Open the Dbvnet port 7890 on both primary and standby server. This port should not be blocked by the local Windows Firewall.
- Open the Dbvserver Web-based interface port 8081 (default for http) and if you are planning on using https, open port 8443.
The default ports used by Dbvisit Standby on Windows based environments are 7890 for the network communication (Dbvnet) and 8081 used for the Web-based interface (Dbvserver).
By default the web-based interface is enabled on HTTP (port 8081) only. If HTTPS is required, the dbvserver.conf file will need to be updated (discussed later in this section) and Dbvserver service restarted.
