Configuring the Adaptive Server resource group

  1. Modify the Adaptive Server resource type registration file SY.ase. This file is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/SC-3_0/etc/. Find the line for the resource type property, RT_BASEDIR, which specifies the location of the Adaptive Server high availability agent. Change the value to point to the installation location of $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/SC-3_0/bin.

    For example:

    RT_BASEDIR=/sybase/ASE-15_0/SC-3_0/bin/
    
  2. Create or edit a file that contains Adaptive Server login information for the System Administrator and the user you added for the fault monitor. The default file is $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/SC-3_0/etc/ase_login_file. If you use another file in a different location, specify the full path for the resource extension property Dataserver_login_file when configuring the SY.ase resource. The file consists of two lines. The first line is for the System Administrator login and password, the second line is for the monitor user login and password.

    login_type <tab> login_string
    login_type <tab> login_string
    

    The only valid value for login type is normal. The value for login string is in the form login-name/password. This is an example of $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/SC-3_0/etc/ase_login_file:

    normal <tab> sa/sa-password 
    normal <tab> ase_monitor_user/ase_monitor_user_password
    

    NoteAfter editing the file with proper values, make the file only readable to the “root” user:

    chmod 400 ase_login_file chown root ase_login_file chgrp sys ase_login_file

  3. Create or edit the sysc_input_file and run syscadm, which registers the resource type, creates the resource group, adds resources to the resource group, and establishes resource dependencies. For example:

    syscadm -c primary 
    -f $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/SC-3_0/etc/sysc_input_file
    

    For more information, see “Using the syscadm script”.

    You can also run the steps performed by the syscadm command manually. See “Configuring the resource group manually” for more information.

    NoteFor a list of the extension properties see Table 9-1.

  4. Run scswitch to:

    scswitch -Z -g resource_group_name
    

    For example:

    scswitch -Z -g rg_MONEY
