Interactive sybcluster Commands Reference

Some interactive commands are active before you connect to a cluster, while others are active only after you connect to a cluster.

The sybcluster command prompt includes the current cluster and the default instance when these values have been set.

• Commands Active Before Connecting to a Cluster
  These commands are active before you connect to a cluster, and are not available after you connect to a cluster.
• Commands Active After Connecting to a Cluster
  These commands are active only after you connect to a cluster:
• add backupserver
  Configures Backup Server for nodes not already configured for Backup Server.
• add instance
  Adds one new instance to the cluster.
• connect
  Connects to an existing cluster.
• create backupserver
  Creates a Backup Server for the cluster, or, if the cluster is configured for multiple Backup Servers, creates a Backup Server for each instance in the cluster.
• create cluster
  Creates an SAP ASE shared-disk cluster.
• create xpserver
  Creates an XP Server for each instance in the cluster.
• deploy plugin
  Adds the configuration information for a single instance of the cluster to the Unified Agent.
• diagnose cluster
  Performs a set of checks to ensure that the cluster is working correctly.
• diagnose instance
  Performs a set of checks to ensure that the instance is configured correctly.
• disconnect
  Closes all connections to the current cluster and returns sybcluster to an unconnected state.
• drop backupserver
  Drops Backup Server from a node or from the cluster. If the cluster is configured for multiple Backup Servers, drops all Backup Servers.
• drop cluster
  Removes each instance from a cluster and then removes the cluster definition from the cluster configuration file.
• drop instance
  Removes an instance from the cluster configuration file and updates the Unified Agent Framework (UAF) and discovery services.
• drop xpserver
  Drops the XP Server for each instance in the cluster.
• exit
  Exits the sybcluster utility.
• help
  Lists the currently available sybcluster interactive commands.
• localize
  Displays the current values for default language, charset, and sort order. Allows modification of default values, and addition or removal of languages.
• quit
  Exits the sybcluster utility.
• set backupserver
  Changes the listening port number for Backup Server on specified nodes in a cluster.
• set cluster
  Changes configuration values for the cluster.
• set instance
  Sets properties of the instance. The instance must be down.
• set xpserver port
  Changes the listening port number for XP Server on specified nodes of the cluster.
• show agents
  Displays information about available UAF agents.
• show backupserver config
  Displays the nodes on which Backup Server is configured, the associated listening port numbers, and the Backup Server policy.
• show cluster
  Displays configuration, log, and status information about the cluster.
• show instance
  Displays information about an instance.
• show membership mode
  Displays the cluster’s current membership mode. Membership mode specifies whether or not Veritas Cluster Integration is supported on the current cluster.
• show session
  Displays current discovery and agent information.
• show xpserver
  Displays the XP Server name and listening port number, node name, and instance name configured on each node.
• shutdown cluster
  Shuts down the cluster by executing a Transact-SQL shutdown command for each instance in the cluster’s instance list, in the order specified in the cluster configuration file.
• shutdown instance
  Shuts down the instance by executing a Transact-SQL shutdown command.
• start cluster
  Starts all instances in the cluster.
• start instance
  Starts an instance.
• upgrade server
  Upgrades a nonclustered SAP ASE server to the SAP ASE Cluster Edition, and creates a cluster with a single instance.
