Running sp_companion with do_advisory option

You must configure the secondary companion with sufficient resources to perform the work of both servers during failover. The secondary companion may have attributes that will prevent a successful cluster operation. For example, if both the primary and secondary companions are configured for 250 user logins, during failover, the secondary companion has the resources for only half the number of potential user logins necessary. Instead, configure both MONEY1 and PERSONNEL1 for 500 user logins.

sp_companion do_advisory checks the configuration options on both the primary and the secondary companion to make sure a cluster operation (such as configuring an Adaptive Server as a secondary companion) will be successful. sp_companion do_advisory advises you of any configuration options that should be changed.

See Chapter 6, “Running do_advisory” for a complete description of the sp_companion do_advisory option.
