Dbvisit Standby installation (step 2) - Linux/Unix

For Dbvisit Standby 6.0 and higher, the installation must be done on both the primary and standby servers.

In an Oracle RAC environment, Dbvisit Standby must be installed and configured as below on each primary node in the RAC cluster.

1. Unzip the dbvisit-standby6.0_<os>.zip file to a temporary directory. This can be done on a local PC.

      (where <os> is the Operating System - linux, hpux, aix, solaris etc)

2. Login as the Oracle database owner (e.g.: oracle) to the primary server.

3. Create the directory /usr/local/dbvisit and ensure that the oracle user has full access to this directory.

4. Copy the installation file dbvisit-standby6.0.x.tar to a temporary directory on the primary server (eg /usr/tmp).

5. Change directory to the temporary directory (/usr/tmp).

6. Untar the file.

7. A new sub directory dbvisit will be created.

8. Change directory into the dbvisit directory.

9. Ensure dbvisit_install has the correct privileges to be executed.

10. Run dbvisit_install to install Dbvisit Standby and Dbvserver (providing the web interface to Dbvisit Standby).

11. All the defaults can be accepted. The Dbvisit software will be installed in

/usr/local/dbvisit:

The Dbvisit software has been installed. Dbvisit Standby can now be configured for the primary and standby databases, and a standby database can be created.
