A sybcluster Sample Session Configuration Values

Configure a typical shared-disk cluster using sybcluster.

This example assumes a primary and secondary network. If you do not specify a secondary network, sybcluster asks for a beginning port number and calculates the number of port numbers needed for communication among the instances. Ensure that the number you provide, and the following required port numbers, are not in use by another application. For information on about how sybcluster calculates the number of required ports, see Creating and Starting the Cluster.
