3 Using the Sybase ASE Toolkit in a Serviceguard Cluster
on HP-UX
This chapter describes the High Availability Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Toolkit
designed for use in a Serviceguard environment. This document covers the basic steps to configure
a Sybase ASE instance in Serviceguard Cluster. With this configuration you can integrate a Sybase
ASE Server with Serviceguard in HP-UX environments.
NOTE: The Sybase ASE toolkit for HP-UX, supports only the standalone Sybase ASE instances
but not the Sybase Replication Server environment.
To configure a Sybase ASE instance, you must be familiar with the Serviceguard configuration,
and with Sybase ASE concepts, including installation and configuration procedures.
NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, this toolkit runs on all distributions and all hardware supported
by Serviceguard.
HP recommends that you to set appropriate roles for users managing the cluster and packages so
that unauthorized users are restricted from viewing sensitive package attribute values like the
Sybase administrator password. For more information, See the configuring Role Based Access
(RBA).
Overview
The Sybase ASE Toolkit for Serviceguard consists of a shell script that is used to start, stop, and
monitor a single-instance of Sybase ASE.
Note that this toolkit supports only modular packages.
NOTE: This toolkit does not support the Sybase ASE HA Failover feature.
To use this toolkit, the toolkit script must be integrated with the Serviceguard master control script.
Subsequent sections “Setting up the Application” (page 65), “Setting up the Toolkit” (page 67)
and “Sybase Package Configuration Example” (page 68)of this document provide guidelines for
integration of this toolkit with Serviceguard master control script.
NOTE: You must install Serviceguard, Sybase ASE and the Sybase ASE Toolkit on all the package
nodes in the cluster.
Sybase Information
Sybase ASE must be accessible from the same location on all nodes in the cluster that will run the
package. You can configure the ASE instance in the following two ways:
The ASE instance can be configured in different ways:
Local Configuration
Local configuration where the Sybase ASE instance is installed and configured on single node and
the files are replicated on all the other nodes in the cluster. The application datafiles should be on
shared file system on LVM.
If you want to store the configuration files on a local disk, you must replicate the configuration to
local disks on all nodes configured to run the package. Here, the Sybase ASE binaries reside on
the local storage. If any change is made to the configuration files, the file must be copied to all
nodes. Ensure that the systems remain synchronized.
Shared Configuration
Shared Configuration where all Sybase ASE installed binaries and the database files are on a
shared file system on LVM.
