Special Installation Instructions

ODBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, and jConnect/JDBC drivers

While the Cluster Edition of Adaptive Server includes drivers for ODBC, OLE DB, ADO.NET, and jConnect™, Sybase recommends that you obtain the most recent versions of these drivers, available at the Sybase EBF download site in these packages:

ODBC: Software Developer Kit 15.0 ESD #18
OLE DB: Software Developer Kit 15.0 ESD #18
ADO.NET: Software Developer Kit 15.0 ESD #18
jConnect: jConnect for JDBC 6.05 ESD #16

For more information about connection migration, see Chapter 2, "Client Applications and Client/ Server Interaction," of the Clusters Users Guide.

Formatting the options file during a silent installation

Formatting the options file during a silent installation

[CR #437646] When you run the Installer to generate an options file for the silent installation, a series of formatting error messages display.

Workaround: You can safely ignore these error messages. An accurate options file has been generated.

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_ $$
```
