Additional steps for installing Cluster Edition on IBM AIX

The steps described in "Setting up raw disks to provide multi-node access and IO fencing on IBM AIX" in Chapter 6, "IO Fencing" of the Installation Guide is incomplete, as it lacks instructions on how to create and configure some Sybase user privileges:

* Some sybase user priviledges that where required are not documented:

Create the user "sybase": mkuser sybase

Create role and grant to sybase:

mkrole authorizations=aix.device.manage.change role_disk_access
	chuser role=role_disk_access default_roles=role_disk_access sybase

Add the security ‘aix.security.proc.set’ for set security attribute:

smit -> Security & Users -> RBAC -> Roles -> Change -> 
		'role_disk_access' -> AUTHORIZATIONS +'aix.security.proc.set'
	setkst

Change user to sybase and set the security attribute (set this attribute as default):
```
su – sybase
	setsecattr –p iprivs=+PV_KER_RAS,PV_ROOT,PV_SU_ $$
```
