Setting the Environment and Starting the Unified Agents

The Unified Agent enables the distributed management of the cluster. Set the $SYBASE environment variables and start a Unified Agent on each node that will host instances in the cluster.

The default port for the Unified Agent is 9999. If for some reason you prefer to start the agent on a different port, see step 3.

From the $SYBASE directory of each instance:

  1. Source either the SYBASE.csh or SYBASE.sh environment scripts.
  2. Start the Unified Agent:
    $SYBASE/UAF-2_5/bin/uafstartup.sh &
    Note: The Unified Agent creates $SYBASE/UAF-2_5/nodes/<node_name>/log/agent.log, and sends agent output to that file.
  3. Optionally, to specify the UAF port number, where port_number is any available network port, use:
    $SYBASE/UAF-2_5/bin/uafstartup.sh -port port_number
