It is recommended to run Dbvisit Standby manually at first on both the primary and standy servers to test that it is functioning correctly and to set the correct thresholds for the parameters.
This step can be done through a Command Line interface (CLI) OR a GUI Web-based interface (GUI).

Executing Dbvisit Standby manually by CLI

Dbvisit is run from the Dbvisit Standby install directory.

1. Executing Dbvisit Standby on the primary server:

Start the Dbvisit Standby command console:

Execute Dbvisit Standby on the primary server:

 

dbvisit <DDC>
Where DDC is the name of the Dbvisit Database Configuration. In most cases this is the same as the database name.
The DDC refers to the DDC file name which is in the form:
dbv_DDC.env and contains the Dbvisit Standby settings for a particular primary and standby configuration.

Example

dbvisit w120n
Where w120n is the DDC name


The first time that Dbvisit Standby executes, the Dbvisit Standby installation and configuration files will be copied over to the standby server. This is equivalent to running Dbvisit Standby with the -c option.

2. Executing Dbvisit Standby on the standby server:

Start the Dbvisit Standby command console:

Execute Dbvisit Standby on the standby server:

 

dbvisit <DDC>
Where DDC is the name of the Dbvisit Database Configuration. In most cases this is the same as the database name.
The DDC refers to the DDC file name which is in the form:
dbv_DDC.env and contains the Dbvisit Standby settings for a particular primary and standby configuration.

Example

dbvisit w120n
Where w120n is the DDC name
