The manner in which you start the server after a system failure depends on whether or not you enabled the automatic cluster takeover configuration parameter.
If the cluster fails because of a system
failure and you:
- Enabled automatic cluster takeover –
the instance
attempting to connect to the cluster restarts the cluster, acting
as the cluster coordinator and recovering the databases.
- Did not enable automatic cluster
takeover – you must restart the cluster with the dataserver . . . --cluster-takeover parameter. For
example, to add the -cluster-takeover
parameter to the runserver file that originally started the cluster,
enter:
$SYBASE/ASE-15_0/bin/dataserver \
--quorum-dev=/dev/raw/raw11\
--instance=ase1\
--cluster-takeover
Once the cluster is running, restart all the instances
normally.
