Configuring the Cluster Using an Input File

At the end of a sybcluster session, you can save the values from the current session to an external file, saving you time when re-creating the same cluster, or editing the values in the file to create a different cluster.

By saving the configuration parameters for your cluster, you can apply them to:
  • An existing cluster with different settings
  • A brand new cluster, instead of configuring it with sybcluster
  • A cluster with an unsuccessful configuration
The syntax is:
create cluster cluster_name file xml_input_file
This example creates "mycluster2," using an input file named mycluster.xml:
create cluster mycluster2 file ./mycluster.xml
