Description

Below are the steps to move the Dbvserver to a new host.

For this example i am moving the Dbvserver from host kiwi704 to kiwi702. The new host which you are moving to, should be able to recognise and ping the primary and standby hosts , so that the dbvagents can recognise them as soon as you start the dbvserver in the new host.

Steps Performed

1. Stop the dbvserver in old host kiwi704.


[oracle@kiwi704 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver]$ ./dbvserver -d stop
dbvserver stops, pid: 1578

2. Install dbvserver in new host kiwi702.

    Press ENTER to continue

3. Copy the dbvserver.db file from the old host to the new host in the location $DBVISIT_BASE/dbvserver/conf directory. (Take a backup of the existing file).


[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver/conf]$ ls -lrt
total 68
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall   324 Aug  9 12:39 dbvserver.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 65536 Aug  9 12:39 dbvserver.db
[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver/conf]$ mv dbvserver.db dbvserver.db.back
[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver/conf]$ scp oracle@kiwi704:/usr/dbvisit/dbvserver/conf/dbvserver.db .
oracle@kiwi704's password:
dbvserver.db                                                                                                                                  100%  192KB 192.0KB/s   00:00

4. Start the dbvserver in the new host kiwi702.


[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver]$ ./dbvserver -d start
[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver]$ ./dbvserver -d status
dbvserver is running with pid: 2678
[oracle@kiwi702 /usr/dbvisit/dbvserver]$

5. Login to the browser and check if the configurations are seen and the agents are up and running.
