To implement mutually-aware OpenSwitch servers, install and configure two OpenSwitch servers.
In a production environment, the Adaptive Servers are
generally installed on a different host than the OpenSwitch servers.
When both OpenSwitch servers are installed on the same host machine,
each OpenSwitch server must be installed in a different Sybase directory.
When you install OpenSwitch and configure it using the configuration tool, the process creates two files:
sql.ini in Windows or interfaces in UNIX – contains information about the network locations of servers. The file contains at least one entry that specifies the network connection information for the default server. This files is saved in the SYBASE root directory.
OpenSwitch_ServerName.cfg – data gathered during OpenSwitch configuration. By default, the file is given the name of the OpenSwitch server being configured, followed by the .cfg file name extension.
You can also manually create and edit the OpenSwitch
configuration file.
When you specify during configuration that an OpenSwitch server should be mutually aware, the configuration process also creates a mutually-aware configuration table in both Adaptive Servers, which can be read by both OpenSwitch servers.
