You can connect to a cluster by specifying the required information when you start sybcluster; you can also start sybcluster and connect to the cluster at a later time using the connect command. You must connect to a cluster before starting it.
When you install and configure the cluster, you also install and configure a Unified Agent on each node in the cluster. When you start sybcluster, you must provide an authenticated user name and password, and identify the Unified Agents on one or more of the cluster’s nodes using a direct connect, or discovery method. sybcluster can then plug in to the Unified Agents and perform command, control, and discovery operations.
