This section will provide you with an overview of the new release updates of Dbvisit Standby version 9.  

Dbvisit Standby as of version 9 caters for the following operating systems:

• Linux

  • Oracle Linux 5, 6 and 7 (64 bit)

  • Red Hat 5, 6 and 7 (64 Bit)

  • SLES 11 and 12 (64bit) 

• Windows (See known issues below)

  • Windows Server 2008 and above (64bit)

• Solaris (See known issues below)

  • Solaris SPARC (10 and above)

  • Solaris x86 (10 and above)

• AIX (See known issues below)

  • AIX 5.3 and above

Dbvisit Standby version 9 supports the following Oracle Database versions:

• Oracle Database 10gR2 (10.2.0.5 recommended) - If using ASM 11gR2 version required for Graceful Switchover 

• Oracle Database 11gR2

• Oracle Database 12cR1 and R2

• Oracle Database 18c 

• Oracle Database 19c - Linux

• Oracle Multi-tenant for Oracle SE2 is supported

  • Pluggable database must be created in primary before you create the standby database

There is a number of changes being introduced with each update.  Some updates may come with specific requirements.

• Please note that Dbvserver (Central Console) cannot be installed on Solaris and AIX systems.

• The Central Console must be installed on a Linux or Windows based system (Linux recommended).

• Dbvisit Observer (Auto-Failover tool) must also be installed on a Linux or Windows based system.

It is possible that some of the release updates will include known issues.  This section should be reviewed for any new release.  

It is important to take note of the following:

• Dbvisit Standby can be installed and used on Solaris based systems (Solaris 10+) with the exception that the Central Console (Dbvserver) must be installed and running on a Linux or Windows-based system.

• Dbvserver (Central Console) cannot be installed on Solaris and AIX based systems.

• Dbvisit Observer (Auto-Failover tool) cannot be installed Solaris and AIX based systems.

• Dbvisit Standby currently only supports ipv4, not ipv6.

• It was noted that on windows ipv6 may be favoured and if the hostname resolution is not ipv4, Dbvnet, Dbvserver and Dbvagent might listen on ipv6 when started.

• It is recommended to make sure the hostnames used in the Dbvisit Standby configurations, resolve to an ipv4 address and not ipv6.

• If Dbvnet, Dbvserver and Dbvagent are not able to listen on ipv4 due to name resolution favouring ipv6, you will have to make use of ipv4 IP addresses in the Dbvnet, Dbvagent, Dbvserver configuration files as well as your Dbvisit Standby DDC file (for the SOURCE and DESTINATION)

• Using the following commands after starting Dbvnet, Dbvagent and Dbvserver, you will be able to identify if it is listening on ipv4 or ipv6:

  • Dbvnet:   netstat -an|findstr 7890

  • Dbvagent:  netstat -an|findstr 7891

  • Dbvserver: netstat -an|findstr 4433

• Dbvisit Standby includes Oracle 12.1 Instant Client libraries by default. If your system has a different version of Oracle installed, it is possible under some rare circumstances for a library version conflict to occur. If you experience any errors similar to "PRKN-1008 : Unable to load the shared library orasrvmhas12.dll", you can usually resolve them easily by renaming this library in the dbvisit/standby folder to "orasrvmhas12.dll.12.1" or by using replacing the 12.1 Instant Client libraries in dbvisit/standby or dbvisit/standby/lib (depending on your operating system) with the 12.2 equivalent files. Please do not change any of these libraries in your Oracle Database Installation.

• Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.5) is now supported - using the latest patch set 10.2.0.5 is required

  • IMPORTANT:

    • This excludes Oracle 10g RAC configurations which are not supported

    • If using Oracle ASM - the version of ASM must be 11.2 and above (Graceful Switchover will not be possible if ASM version of 10.2 is used)

• Using SSH as communication between primary and standby hosts is fully supported. The default is to use Dbvnet, but SSH password-less communication is still supported.

• Update default certificate expiry to Nov 2027

• AIX , Solaris x86 and Sparc specific release for probable feature enhancement from Oracle with the 19.17 release. Refer link

The 8.0.18 release now includes support for Solaris and AIX.  As part of this release, there is a number of new changes of which a summary is listed below. 

Other Notes:

• Dbvnet, Dbvagent and Dbvserver now include the certificates in the conf subdirectory.  Users can use the default provided or substitute this with their own if so required.

• The Dbvagent configuration file now has two extra options that can be set: webserver_address and webserver port.  These should only be set if the Central Console (Dbvserver) is located behind a firewall.  In these scenarios, the Agent will have to send data via the firewall to the Central Console.  The firewall IP address will be provided as the webserver_address and if port forwarding is used the webserver_port is set to the port that was selected on the firewall.  This might be due to the webserver sitting behind a company firewall in a private IP range.

• For Solaris and AIX do not use Dbvnet for network communication, but rather use SSH 

• For Solaris and AIX, the webserver (Central Console) must be installed on a separate Windows or Linux environment - Linux is recommended.
