Setting up read-only scale-out

The following steps must be performed to configure a scale-out system:

  1. Start a database server with the -xp on database option. This database server is the root node for the scale-out system.

  2. Add the scale-out object definitions to the root database. You must define the servers and set options for the servers.

  3. Make backup copies of the root database.

  4. Start the copy nodes (the backup copies of the database).
