Overview of a Shared Installation

In a shared installation, each instance of Adaptive Server in the cluster shares:

• All databases and database devices (for example, all instances share the same master database)
• A common $SYBASE directory

• All server binaries (for example dataserver) and all scripts (for example installmaster)

• All configuration files, including the cluster input file
• The interfaces file, unless LDAP is used for server lookup
• A quorum device used to coordinate the instances with the cluster
