After you install the Adaptive Servers, the servers run under an operating system account known as “LocalSystem”. For a clustered operation, the Adaptive Server must be able to communicate over the network to the other cluster node using Windows operating system services. Because the LocalSystem account is not allowed to access any Windows operating system services related to the network, it cannot communicate with the other node. You must reconfigure both Adaptive Servers to run under a domain administration account.
To configure an Adaptive Server to run as a domain administrator:
Start the Services application from the Windows Control Panel | Administrative Tools.
Select the service corresponding to the Adaptive Server. Its service name uses this syntax:
Sybase SQLServer _ server_name
For example, Sybase SQLServer_MONEY1
Double Click on Sybase SQLServer_server_name, for the Properties dialog box.
Select Log on tab.
Select This Account from Log on tab.
Enter a valid domain administration account name (for example, MYDOMAIN\AdminUser1). Enter and confirm this account’s password.
Click OK.
Restart the Adaptive Server.
