Typically, a cluster is created using sybcluster or the Adaptive Server plug-in. In these cases, Adaptive Server automatically adds configuration information that allows sybcluster or the Adaptive Server plug-in to connect to the Unified Agent on each node. If you configure the cluster manually (as described in the Installation Guide), you must add that configuration information to the Unified Agents before you can use sybcluster or the Adaptive Server plug-in to manage the cluster.
You must first deploy the plug-in configuration information.
If you have not already done so, start the Unified Agents on the cluster. See Chapter 3, “Installing the Server and Starting the Cluster,” in the installation guide for your platform.
Deploy the plug-in. For example, to deploy the cluster agent plug-in information on the default cluster “mycluster”, enter:
deploy plugin agent "blade1,blade2,blade3"
You can specify the Unified Agents using any of the direct connect or discovery methods described in “Identifying the Unified Agents”.
After the agents are specified, Adaptive Server prompts you for the paths to:
The quorum device
The environment shell script
The ASE home directory
You can use sybcluster or Adaptive
Server plug-in to manage the cluster after deploying the plug-in
to a single node in the cluster. However, to start the cluster,
you must deploy the plug-in to all nodes in the cluster.
You can also use deploy plugin to update the values for an existing plug-in.
