A number of problems can cause the Cluster Edition to not start.
The Cluster Edition creates a resource fault if VCS cannot start the Cluster Edition or detects that it is already running. Use the hagrp -clear command to clear the resource fault. This example clears the resource faults for an VCS group named “asegrp1”:
hagrp -clear asegrp1
VCS uses the ps command to locate the dataserver process: do not rename the dataserver binary.
Validate the Home attribute for the Cluster Edition resource using hares -display. Home must point to $SYBASE and the dataserver binary must be located in $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/bin. If Home does not point to the correct value, change the value using the hares -modify command.
VCS uses the RUN_server_name file to start the instances. If the RUN_server_name files do not exist, VCS uses the parameters defined in the Home, Server, and Quorum_dev variables to build the execution string that starts the instance:
HOME/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver -sserver_name -QQuorum_dev
If you receive a resource fault, you should verify that:
There is a separate RUN_server_name file for each instance in the cluster.
The RUN_server_name files include the name of the instance as the suffix.
Each RUN_server_name file is executable.
Each RUN_server_name file contains the correct path to the dataserver binary.
The Quorum_dev attribute value uses the correct path to an existing quorum device. Use hares -display to view the Quroum_dev value. This example assumes an VCS resource named “aseres1”:
hares -display aseres1 -attribute Quorum_dev
Use hares -modify to modify the path:
hares -modify aseres1 Quorum_dev /sybase/quorum
The Server attributes correspond to the instance names. Use the hares -display command to verify the Server attributes. This example assumes an VCS resource named “aseres1”:
hares -display aseres1 -attribute Server
Use hares -modify to modify the value:
o hares -modify aseres1 Server ase1 -sys hpcblade1
You have enabled the VCS resource using hares -display:
hares -display aseres1 -attribute Enabled
If necessary, change it using hares -modify:
hares -modify aseres1 Enabled 1
