Multiplex prerequisites

In a multiplex environment, all main store file paths must be absolute or relative such that they are accessible to all servers in the multiplex. (This is a change from Sybase IQ 12.7, when all servers in a multiplex had independent paths to the IQ main store files.)

A multiplex requires a database that has a shared disk array for the main store.

In order to run multiplex operations with Sybase Central, the Sybase IQ GUI, the Sybase IQ Agent must be running. The agent starts automatically on Windows systems, but not on UNIX. For details, see “Running the Sybase IQ Agent”.
