You can find instructions for installing Adaptive Server in the installation documentation for your platform. The installation program and scripts initialize the master device and set up the master, model, sybsystemprocs, sybsecurity, and temporary databases for you.
When you install Adaptive Server, the system databases, system defined segments, and database devices are organized as follows:
The master, model, and tempdb databases are installed on the master device.
The sybsystemprocs database is installed on a device that you specified.
Three segments are created in each database: system, default, and logsegment.
The master device is the default storage device for all user-created databases.
After initializing new devices for default storage,
remove the master device from the default storage area with sp_diskdefault.
Do not store user databases and objects on the master device. See “Designating default devices” for more information.
If you install the audit database, sybsecurity, it is located on its own device.
