Verifying the high availability agent

Because machines running the Solaris operating system can support different cluster software, sp_companion includes the show_cluster option to query the high availability agent currently running and the set_cluster option to set the high availability agent.

If you are running the Veritas Cluster Server subsystem, you must specify the cluster with sp_companion. Adaptive Server assumes it is running the cluster software for your operating system unless you specify otherwise.

The syntax is:

sp_companion companion_server_name, [show_cluster]
sp_companion companion_server_name, [set_cluster, "SC"|"VCS"]

To change the Adaptive Server to use the HAase agent for the Veritas Cluster:

sp_companion MONEY1, set_cluster, "VCS"

The current cluster is set to VCS

NoteDo not change to another high availability agent type when Adaptive Server is configured for normal companion mode on your VCS system
