Chapter 15: Configuring Adaptive Server for Failover on Windows NT

Changing the domain administration account

After you install the Adaptive Servers, the servers run under an operating system account known as “LocalSystem”. For a clustered operation, the Adaptive Server must be able to communicate over the network to the other cluster node using Windows NT operating system services. Because the LocalSystem account is not allowed to access any NT operating system services related to the network, it cannot communicate with the other node. You must reconfigure both Adaptive Servers to run under a domain administration account.

To configure an Adaptive Server to run as a domain administrator:

  1. Start the Services application from the Windows NT Control Panel.

  2. Select the service corresponding to the Adaptive Server. Its service name uses this syntax:

    Sybase SQLServer _ server_name

    For example, Sybase SQLServer_MONEY1

  3. Click Startup to display the service Start-up Properties dialog box.

  4. Select This Account from the Log On As group.

  5. Enter a valid domain administration account name (for example, MYDOMAIN\AdminUser1). Enter and confirm this account’s password.

  6. Click OK.

  7. Restart the Adaptive Server.
