After you install the Adaptive Servers, they run under an operating system account known as “LocalSystem”. For a regular installation of Adaptive Server, this works fine, however, for a clustered operation, the Adaptive Server must be able to communicate over the network to the other cluster node using Windows NT operating system services. Because the Local System account is not allowed to access any NT operating system services related to the network, it cannot communicate with the other node. You must reconfigure both Adaptive Servers to run under a domain administration account.
To configure Adaptive Server to run as a domain administrator:
Start the Services application from the Windows NT Control Panel.
Select the service corresponding to the Adaptive Server. Its service name uses this syntax:
Sybase SQLServer _ server_name
For example, Sybase SQLServer_MONEY1
Click Startup to display the service's startup properties dialog box.
Select the This Account radio button from the Log On As group.
Enter a valid domain administration account name (for example, MYDOMAIN\AdminUser1). Enter and then confirm this account’s password.
Click OK to save these changes.
Restart the Adaptive Server to use these changes.
