Cluster creation fails leaving files in $SYBASE directory

If the sybcluster create cluster command or the Sybase Central Adaptive Server plug-in Create Cluster Wizard terminates with an error condition, some files may be left in the cluster installation directory. Remove these files before attempting to create the cluster again:

1. Remove any entries for the cluster in the interfaces file in the installation directory.

2. Remove Unified Agent plug-in directories for each node from these locations:

   $SYBASE/UAF-2_5/nodes/node_name/plugins/cluster_name
   

3. Remove resource files with names ending in *.res from the $SYBASE directory.

4. Remove cluster definition files with names ending in *.inp from the $SYBASE directory.

5. Remove the intermediate RUN_instance_name file from $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/install.

6. Remove any error log files from $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/install.

7. Remove any instance configuration files from $SYBASE.

Only steps 1 and 2 are required before you can initiate another cluster creation operation. However, perform the other steps to reduce the number of files in the installation area.
