To configure Backup Server using sybcluster:
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.
Connect to the cluster. For example, to connect to “mycluster”, enter:
connect to mycluster
If the cluster is not running, start it. Enter:
start cluster
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.
It is recommended that you configure Backup Server on all nodes so that the Backup Server can be started on any node. In some cases where Backup Server is not configured on all nodes, Adaptive Server is unable to start Backup server. This happens when the dump command is initiated on a node that does not have Backup Server configured.
You also have the option to add or remove Backup Server from nodes at a later stage.
