Start all command-line utilities, Xterms, and executables
related to configuring and executing high availability on Windows
as the administrator. To run these as administrator, right-click
on the command-tool icon and select “Run as administrator.”
Install both the primary and secondary Adaptive Servers. Do not use the machine name as the Adaptive Server name.
The primary companion can be either a newly installed Adaptive Server, or it can be upgraded from an earlier version of Adaptive Server with existing databases, users, and so on.
The secondary companion must be a newly installed Adaptive Server without any user logins or user databases. This ensures that all user logins and database names are unique within the cluster. After configuration for failover is complete, you can add user logins and databases to the secondary companion.
Place all data and log devices (including the master and sybsystemprocs devices) on dedicated shared disks.
