Solution

 When installing Oracle Database on Oracle Linux 6 64bit it is recommended to run the following:

yum install oracle-rdbms-server-12cR1-preinstall

But this will only install the 64bit required packages as with 11.2.0.2 only one 32bit package is required. For more details see the section 4.3 Package Requirements in the following document:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24325/toc.htm#BHCGAEJA

Dbvisit Standby will require you to install the glibc.i686 package when Oracle Linux 6 64bit is used.

Below is an example of the installation on Oracle Linux 6.3 64bit where Oracle 11.2.0.3 is installed. Once the glibc.i686 is installed you should be able to continue with the installation and use of Dbvisit Standby.

Welcome. Your Dbvisit Standby product is going to be installed now...
This will install:
- Dbvisit Standby command line version
- Dbvserver (to provide a web interface to Dbvisit Standby)
It is recommended to make a backup of our current Dbvisit 
software location for rollback purposes. 

Oracle user name on this server? [default: "oracle"]
Enter a custom value or press ENTER to accept default: 
.....

================================================== ==============

Once you have installed the glibc.i686 package you should be able to use Dbvisit standby as normal.
