Creating a Simulated Cluster on a Single Node

Test the server configuration and installation.

Sybase recommends that you configure each instance on a different node, that is, one node for each instance. However, for a testing environment, you can create a simulated cluster on a single node with all instances running on that node.
  1. For best performance make sure the number of engines in all instances running on a single node do not exceed the number of CPUs on that node.
  2. The default setting for the runnable process search count parameter is '3'. Sybase recommends using this default setting. This can be set using the sp_configure stored procedure.
