Dbvisit Standby version 8.0.01

========================================
INSTALLATION - Linux based systems
========================================
For full step by step installation or upgrade instructions please see the online user guide.

This section will provide you with a brief summary of the installation process:

Prerequisites:
    1)  The Dbvisit Base directory (default is /usr/dbvisit) must already exist
        and be owned by the Oracle Database software owner ("oracle" on most UNIX based systems)
    2)  The default port used by the Dbvisit Network Component - Dbvnet is 7890.
    3)  The default port used by the Dbvisit Agent (dbvagent) is 7891.
    4)  The default port used by the Dbvisit Central Console (web based interface) is 4433  
    5)  These ports may be changed during the installation or later by editing the relevant configuration file. 
        It is important to make sure the port used by the Dbvnet, Dbvagent or the Dbvserver 
        is not blocked by any firewall (this include the local firewall - IPTABLES or Firewalld or Windows Firewall)
    6)  Make note of the passphrase used by the Dbvnet as this will be required for establishing a secure network
        connection between the Primary and Standby database servers.
    7)  The passphrase provided during Dbvisit Standby installation for the Dbvagent will be required to establish 
        connections between the Central Console and the Dbvisit Agent (dbvagent).

Installation 
    1)  Installation of the Dbvisit Dbvnet, Dbvagent and Standby core components - is done as part of the 
        Dbvisit Standby Core Package installation.  The high level steps for installing the 
        core package (which include the agent) are:
        - Download the latest Dbvisit Standby installer package from www.dbvisit.com
        - Copy the installer package to a temporary folder - example /home/oracle/8.0
        - Uncompress the installer package using "unzip <package-name>.zip"
        - Extract the installer archive using "tar <package-name>.tar"
        - Navigate to the dbvisit/installer sub directory extracted by the above commands
        - Start the Installer by executing the command "./install-dbvisit"
        - The first question will be to confirm the Dbvisit Base directory, this is the base destination 
          folder where the Dbvisit Standby software will be installed into.  The default and recommended
          folder is /usr/dbvisit (This folder must be pre-created and be owned by the Oracle Database 
          software owner - "oracle" in most cases)
        - Follow the installation menu selection to install the new components, which is 
          option 5 from the main menu (Installing the Core Packages - Dbvnet, Dbvagent and Standby Core)
        - Once the installation is complete which only takes a few seconds on most systems, exit the 
          installer
        - You can now remove the installer package - example remove the /home/oracle/8.0 folder from
          where the installer was executed.
    		        
    2)  Dbvnet and the Dbvagent can be started with the following command:
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvnet
        ./dbvnet -d start
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvagent
        ./dbvagent -d start
        
    3)  Stopping dbvnet and the dbvagent is done using the following commands:
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvnet
        ./dbvnet -d stop
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvagent
        ./dbvagent -d stop
        
    4)  Installing Dbvserver (Central Console) is similar process as described in step 1 above, but instead
        of installing option 5 which is the core components, you select option 4 - Dbvserver, which will 
        install the Central Console (dbvserver).  It is recommended that the Central Console be installed on
        its own standalone server.  The Central console will establis a secure connection with the agent using the 
        Dbvisit Agent passphrase as specified during the dbvagent installation.
    
    5)  Start the Central Console using the following commands:
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver
        ./dbvserver -d stop
        
    6)  Stop the Central Console using the following commands:
        cd /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver
        ./dbvserver -d start
        
    7)  Once the Dbvisit Standby core components (dbvnet, dbvserver, standby command line) is installed on 
        all the servers that will be part of the Dbvisit Standby configuraiton (primary and standby database servers)
        you can use the newly isntalled Cetnral Console to start the management/configuration of the enviornment.
        To login to the Central console navigate (using a recent browser - Firefox, Chrome or Safari recommended) to
        http://<your-central-console-server-name>:4433   example: https://dbv103:4433
        The default username and password for the central console is "admin"
