ASE CE Cluster Startup with XML file

1. Some global checks

Log in with Sybase User to Unix and check this enviromental variables:

• SYBASE_JRE6=/sybase/shared/JRE-6_0_SR1_64BIT
• SYBASE_UA=/sybase/UAF-2_5

Then check the sybcluster utility:sybcluster -v

• Sybase sybcluster Command Line Utility/15.5/Cluster Edition/S/jdk1.4.2/ase155ce/400/Mon Nov 23 09:12:16 PST 2009

2. Startup Agents and create clusterStartup the unified agente for each node that its going to be part of the cluster:

• sybase@db1(/sybase/UAF-2_5/bin)$. uafstartup.sh &
• sybase@db2(/sybase/UAF-2_5/bin)$. uafstartup.sh &

sybase@db1(/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin)$. sybcluster -Uuafadmin -P -C dbcluster -F “db1,db2″
> create cluster dbcluster file /sybase/dbcluster.xml
……….
The cluster dbcluster was successfully created.
