Creating a Logical Server

Create a logical server to group multiple physical multiplex servers into a single logical entity.

Prerequisites

You have DBA or Multiplex Admin authority.

Task

In the Perspective Resources view, select a resource.
From the application menu bar, select View > Open > Administration Console.
In the left pane of the Administration Console, select IQ Servers > Multiplex Management > Logical Servers.
Click the arrow next to Logical Servers and select New.

On the Logical Server Name page of the wizard, specify:

Area	Description
Select the resource for which the logical server will be created.	List of multiplex servers.
What do you want to name the new logical server?	Unique name for the logical server.
What would you like the comment to be for this logical server?	Optional comment about this logical server.

Click Next.

Note: Using the Next button is optional. You can also navigate through the wizard by selecting wizard pages from the left pane.
On the Logical Server Node Membership page, select the multiplex nodes you want to add to the logical server. You can select the coordinator node, or secondary nodes.

Note: Select the FOR LOGICAL COORDINATOR node to add the current coordinator as a member. This ensures the coordinator is always available to the logical server as its member, regardless of which multiplex node plays the coordinator role. In the Sybase IQ documentation, see Using Sybase IQ Multiplex > Logical Servers for information on failover.
Click Finish.
