Configuring XP Server manually

If you configure XP Server for the cluster, you must configure an XP Server for each instance. For each instance:

  1. Create an entry for XP Server in your interfaces file for each instance, indicating node name and port number.

    Enter the XP Server name in capital letters in this format:

    INSTANCE_NAME_XP

    The syntax for interfaces file entry is:

    INSTANCE_NAME_XP
    master tcp ether node_name port_number
    query tcp ether node_name port_number
    

    For example:

    ASE1_XP
    master tcp ether blade1 32077
    query tcp ether blade1 32079
    
  2. Use sp_addserver to enter a row in the sysservers table for each XP Server. Thereafter, the Cluster Edition automatically starts the server. For example:

    sp_addserver ASE1_XP, NULL, ASE1_XP
    

See the Utility Guide for more information about the xp server utility.
