Using sybcluster to configure Backup Server

To configure Backup Server using sybcluster:

1. Start sybcluster. For example, to start sybcluster and specify Unified Agents on the nodes “blade1”, “blade2”, and “blade3”, enter:

   sybcluster -U uafadmin -P -F "blade1:1234,blade2:2345,blade3:3456"
   

   Unified Agents must be running on all nodes in the cluster to verify that the selected ports are available.

2. Connect to the cluster. For example, to connect to “mycluster”, enter:

   connect to mycluster
   

3. If the cluster is not running, start it. Enter:

   start cluster 
   

4. To create the Backup Server for the cluster, enter:

   create backupserver
   

   Adaptive Server prompts you for these values:

   • The Backup Server name. The default value is “cluster_name_BS”. For example, “mycluster_BS”.

   • The backup server listening port for each node in the cluster.

After creating backup server, you can set optional configuration values by editing the Backup Server configuration file, which is $SYBASE/<backupserver_name>.cfg.
