Description

This issue is encountered when using the GUI to create a new standby with a new installation of Dbvisit on Primary and Secondary. When selecting the Source Host on the Create New Configuration page, the following error appears.

1. Determine the PID of the dbvagent process

ps -ef|grep dbv

2. Run the following command to get the relevant process environment list for the dbvagent PID on Primary. 

xargs --null --max-args=1 < /proc/<pid>/environ

3. Capture the output into a text file - here's an example

$ xargs --null --max-args=1 < /proc/26762/environ

For some reason, there's an issue with how the resource is started from the cluster. 

 

4. Edit your dbvagent action script and add the following line

case "$1" in
     'start')
            export USER=oracle
           ./dbvagent -d start
           RET=0
           echo "Running start dbvagent resource with return code $RET"
     ;;
...
...

5. Restart the dbvagent resource and try to create the new DDC
