Planning Your Installation

The installation process depends on whether you are installing for the first time, upgrading from a previous version, or migrating your databases to a new hardware platform.

Note: Sybase Control Center is a Web-based tool for managing and monitoring SAP Sybase servers, including single-node and multiplex servers. If you plan to use SCC to manage your servers, see the Sybase Control Center Installation Guide before you install.

Changing Hardware Platforms

Planning for Distributed Query Processing or High Availability
Distributed query processing can benefit from an optional high-speed interconnect. Use scalable interconnect technology to connect multiplex nodes.
