Sybase high availability requires the following hardware and system components:
Two homogenous, networked systems with similar configurations in terms of resources like CPU, memory, etc.
These systems should be equipped with the high availability subsystem package and the associated hardware.
Must have devices that are accessible to both nodes.
The system must have a logical volume manager (LVM) to maintain unique device pathnames across the cluster nodes.
Vendor provided mirroring, not Sybase mirroring, should be used for media failure protection.
See your hardware and operating system documentation for information about installing platform specific high availability software.
