Differences Between Private and Shared Installations

The installation process is different for private and shared installations.

Regardless of installation type, each instance of Adaptive Server in the cluster shares:

Shared Installation Private Installation
Each instance of Adaptive Server in the cluster shares:
  • A common $SYBASE directory
  • The interfaces file, unless LDAP is used for server lookup
  • All configuration files, including the cluster input file
  • All server binaries (for example, dataserver) and all scripts (for example, installmaster)
Each instance of Adaptive Server in the cluster maintains its own:
  • $SYBASE directory
  • Interfaces file, unless LDAP is used for server lookup
  • Server configuration file
