You must update the number of devices configuration parameter if you use more than the default number of database devices.
Configuration values are unavailable to SAP ASE until after recovery of the master database, so instruct SAP ASE to read the appropriate value for the number of devices parameter from a configuration file at start-up.
If your most recent configuration file is unavailable, edit a configuration file to reflect the correct value for the number of devices parameter.
Edit the runserver file. Add the -c parameter to the end of the dataserver or sqlsrver command, specifying the name and location of the configuration file. When SAP ASE starts, it reads the parameter values from the specified configuration file.
