Sybase strongly recommends that the total number of
engines in all instances does not exceed the number of CPUs.
After setting the environment, and creating both raw devices and a cluster input
file, you can begin configuring the cluster. Manually configuring a cluster involves
several tasks:
- Configure theinterfaces file for the cluster server and all instances.
- Create the quorum and master devices on raw devices on the shared-disk storage.
- Use disk init to initialize and create the sybsystemprocs database.
- Run InstallAnywhere to install the system stored procedures.
- After creating the master and quorum devices, create a runserver file for each instance in the cluster.
- Set up a local system and temporary databases.
