In a multiplex environment, all main store file paths must be absolute or relative such that they are accessible to all servers in the multiplex. (The exception is Sybase IQ 12.7, when all servers in a multiplex had independent paths to the IQ main store files.)
A multiplex requires a database that has a shared disk array for the main store.
See Chapter 5, “Working with Database Objects,” in Sybase IQ System Administration Guide to learn how to create IQ databases.
See Chapter 6, “Migrating Data,” in Installation and Configuration Guide if you are migrating your database from an earlier release of Sybase IQ.
In order to run multiplex operations with Sybase Central, the Sybase IQ GUI, the Sybase IQ Agent must be running. The agent starts automatically on Windows systems, but not on UNIX. For details, see “Running the Sybase IQ Agent”.
