Upgrading from an agent of resource type Sybase

If you are using an earlier version of the resource type Sybase on VCS 1.3.0, you can continue to use the HA agent from this version on an upgraded VCS version that is certified by Sybase. If you are using an HA agent from an earlier release of VCS for resource type Sybase and you want to use the new agent for the resource type HAase, perform the following steps to switch from the old to the new agent:

  1. Install the new agent for resource type HAase. See “Installing the HAase agent”.

  2. Import the new resource type, HAase. See “Importing the HAase resource type”.

  3. Start the new agent for resource type, HAase. See “Starting the HAase agent”.

  4. Disable the Sybase resource monitoring:

    haconf -makerw
    hares -modify Sybase_resource_name Enabled 0
    haconf -dump -makero
    
  5. Drop the existing resource instances of Sybase from the service group.

    haconf -makerw
    hares -delete sybase_resource_name
    haconf -dump -makero
    
  6. Configure a new resource instance of resource type HAase. See “Adding the HAase resource”“.

  7. Enable the new HAase resource with the following cluster command:

    hares -modify HAase_resurce_name Enabled 1
