Manual Configuration of an ASA Database

You can use .../Orch4-3/asa/startPS41State.bat and .../Orch4-3/asa/stopPS41State.bat as templates for starting and stopping the clustered ASA state database.

Following are the commands for starting an ASA database capable of receiving TCP/IP connections.

1. Copy the state.db file from one of the runtime directories created when you deployed. It does not matter which server you copy the file from.

2. Move it to the server which will host the database.

3. Start the database with the following command:

dbsrv8 -c 50M -cl 50M -gc 480 -gr 480 -p 16000 -gn 20 -gt 2 \ -o s43.server_log -sb 0 -n <dbServerName> \ -x"tcpip(IP=<ServerHost>;ServerPort=<ServerPort #>,:dobroadcast=no)" state.db \ -n <dbNname> -m

where:

• <dbServerName> is the ASA server instance name

• <ServerHost> is the physical machine where the ASA server instance exists

• <ServerPost> is the TCPIP port chosen for the ASA server instance

• <dbName> is the name you have given to the ASA database

The prompt will not return because the database is running.

4. To end the database enter q.

Note: An ASA license is not necessary for the central state database.
