Typical Sybase configuration in a VCS cluster
In a typical configuration, VCS is configured in a two node cluster. The Sybase data is installed on shared disks. The Sybase server binaries can be installed locally on both nodes or on shared disks. The agent for Sybase is installed on both the nodes. The shared disks can be managed using Volume Manager (VxVM).
Figure: Sybase binaries and data on shared disks illustrates a sample configuration in which the Sybase servers, including binaries and data are installed completely on shared disks or shared cluster disk groups managed using VxVM.
Figure: Binaries on local disk and Sybase data on shared disks illustrates a sample configuration in which Sybase binaries are installed locally on each node in the cluster and the Sybase data is on shared disks or shared cluster disk groups managed using VxVM.
