Setting the environment and starting the Unified Agents

The Unified Agent enables the distributed management of the cluster. Set the $SYBASE environment variables and start a Unified Agent on each node that will host instances in the cluster.

If another application is already using port 9999 see step 3.

Starting the Unified Agents

From the $SYBASE directory of each instance:

Source the SYBASE.sh file if you are using the Bourne shell or C shell.
- C shell:
```
source ./SYBASE.csh
```
- Bourne shell:
```
. ./SYBASE.sh
```
Start the Unified Agent:
```
$SYBASE_UA/bin/uafstartup.sh &
```
The Unified Agent creates $SYBASE_UA/nodes/<node_name>/log/agent.log, and sends agent output to that file.
To optionally specify the UAF port number, enter the following, where port_number is any available network port:
```
$SYBASE_UA/bin/uafstartup.sh -port port_number
```
You can change the port number at the command line with the command:
```
uafstartup.sh -port port_number
```
UAF automatically updates its configuration to start on the new port
