Create
the quorum and master devices on raw devices on the shared-disk storage.
When creating the quorum device, use the same device name
and major and minor numbers on all machines. Each raw device must
be accessible from each node using the same path. The example described
in
the Create the Cluster Input File topic specifies
raw device raw11 as the quorum disk. This example also uses raw11 for the quorum disk.
For example:
dataserver
...
--quorum-dev /dev/raw/raw11
The syntax for creating Cluster Edition master and quorum
devices is:
dataserver
--cluster-input= cluster_input_filename_and_path
--quorum-dev= quorum_device_and_path
--master-device-size= master_device_size
--logical-page-size= page_size
--instance= instance_name
--buildquorum
Where:
-
--master-device-size=<size
spec> – specifies the size of the
master device.
-
--cluster-input=<cluster
input file> – loads
the cluster configuration specified in the input file onto the quorum
device.
-
--quorum-dev= path_to_quorum_device – specifies
the full path to the quorum device.
-
--instance=instance_name – specifies
the name of an instance.
-
--logical-page-size= page_size – specifies
the page size.
-
--buildquorum – specifies
that a new quorum device should be built.
Note: See dataserver under “Changes
to commands” section in the “System Changes” chapter
of the User Guide for more information about
the dataserver parameters.
Create the master and quorum devices using
dataserver.
This example creates an instance named “ase1” that
is configured for 4K pages, a master device of 500MB, and a quorum
device,
/opt/sybase/ASE-15_0/bin/ dataserver\
--quorum-dev=/dev/raw/raw11\
--instance=ase1
--cluster-input=/opt/sybase/mycluster.inp
--master-device-size=500M
--logical-page-size=4k
--buildquorum
