Asymmetric setup from the command line  Configuring Windows NT using Cluster Administrator

Chapter 15: Configuring Adaptive Server for Failover on Windows NT

Symmetric configuration from the command line

You must configure your companions for an asymmetric setup before you can configure them for a symmetric setup. In a symmetric configuration, both servers act as primary and secondary companions.

Issue sp_companion from the secondary companion to configure it for symmetric setup. Use the same syntax as for the asymmetric setup, except you cannot use the with_proxydb option.

The following example adds an Adaptive Server named MONEY1 as the secondary companion to the Adaptive Server named PERSONNEL1. Issue the following command from the server MONEY1:

1> sp_companion 'PERSONNEL1', configure, sa, MyPassword, sa_cluster_login, MyClusterPassword
2> go
Server 'MONEY1' is alive and cluster configured.
Step: Access verified from Server:'MONEY1' to Server:'PERSONNEL1'
Server 'PERSONNEL1' is alive and cluster configured.
Step: Access verified from Server:'PERSONNEL1' to Server:'MONEY1'
