Create Dbvisit Configuration in OCI
Obtain DB_UNIQUE_NAME for each Oracle Database machine
First identify correct DB_UNIQUE_NAMES generated by OCI during Oracle Database machine creation:
You can find the information under Oracle Base Database Service menu:
Click on specific machine:
In Database part of the output, you can see the specific DB_UNIQUE_NAME:
Note down DB_UNIQUE_NAME from both machines.
Create Dbvisit Configuration
In Dbvisit Central Console, choose “New Configuration” → “Start with Oracle”
In the “Create New Database Configuration” menu fill in following:
Choose primary machine
Choose a database, that will be synchronized
Choose a standby machine
Choose a staging directory on primary machine for archived logs copied from ASM
Set Unique Database Name according to the DB_UNIQUE_NAME obtained in “Obtain DB_UNIQUE_NAME for each Oracle Database machine” section
Choose a staging directory for newly arrived archived logs to the standby machine
Press the switch, that the standby database will use ASM for datafiles storage
Fill in +ASM1
Choose a Configuration name
Fill in license key
Click Create Configuration button
Copy Wallet from primary to standby
Before creating the standby database, wallets must be the same on primary as well as on standby side.
You can check location of the wallet by running following query:
sqlplus / as sysdba SQL> show parameter wallet_root NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ wallet_root string /opt/oracle/dcs/commonstore/wa llets/TEST01_8nj_iad
Then copy the wallet from primary to standby machine to the directory with DB_UNIQUE_NAME, that matches to the standby machine. Eg.:
scp -rp /opt/oracle/dcs/commonstore/wallets/TEST01_8nj_iad oracle@dbvphoenix.fsdr.dbvisit:/opt/oracle/dcs/commonstore/wallets/TEST01_xhk_iad
Without copying the wallet, creation of standby database will fail.
Create Standby Database
There is no difference between creating Standby database in OCI and other systems.
