Reconfiguring the Cluster

You can reconfigure a cluster to add instances, change trace flags, and so on. Edit the cluster input file, then create a new run file for the instance you intend to start first and that includes the dataserver with the cluster-input option. This option tells Adaptive Server to write the new configuration information to the quorum device.

Log in to any instance, and shut down the cluster.
Note: If you use sybcluster or the Adaptive Server plug-in, you do not need to shut down the cluster before reconfiguring it.
  1. Extract the current configuration to a file using the -extract-config command to the qrmutil utility. See the Clusters Users Guide.
  2. Edit the cluster input file.
  3. Copy the run file for the instance you intend to start and add the --cluster-input option to the dataserver statement. For example, change RUN_ase1 in this way:
    $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/bin/dataserver\
    --cluster-input=/<input_file>\
    --quorum-dev=/dev/raw/raw11\
    --instance=ase1\
  4. Start the cluster.
