Complete these steps in this order to configure and start the Cluster:
Read “Before you begin”.
Set the $SYBASE environment and start the Unified Agent on each node of the cluster. See “Setting the environment and starting the Unified Agents”.
Configure the cluster using one of the following:
The Adaptive Server plug-in. See “Creating the cluster server using the Adaptive Server plug-in”.
The sybcluster utility. See “Creating the cluster using sybcluster”.
(Optional) Configure the auxiliary servers: Monitor Server, XP Server, Backup Server, and Job Scheduler. See “Configuring auxiliary servers”.
If the installation and startup fails you must follow the steps at the end of this chapter before re-installing.
Once configured, each instance of Adaptive Server in the cluster shares:
All databases and database devices (for example, all instances share the same master database)
A common $SYBASE directory
All server binaries (for example dataserver) and all scripts (for example installmaster)
All configuration files, including the cluster configuration file
The interfaces file
A quorum device used to coordinate the instances with the cluster
