Installing the agent for Sybase
The agent binaries for Cluster Server agent for Sybase are a part of the VRTSvcsea package. The VRTSvcsea package is already installed if you chose to install all packages or recommended packages during VCS installation. You must manually install the VRTSvcsea package if you installed minimal packages during VCS installation. For Sybase ASE cluster edition, the VCS product installer installs the Sybase agent VRTSvcsea package along with other components
You can also install the Cluster Server agent for Sybase from the product disc.
Install the agent for Sybase on each node in the cluster.
To install the agent on Solaris systems
- Log in as superuser.
- Make sure that the agent is not already installed.
Navigate to
/opt/VRTSagents/ha/binand list the contents of the directory. If the command returns the VCS agents for Sybase, you can skip this procedure. - Create a temporary directory for installation.
# mkdir /tmp/install
Insert the software disc into the system's disc drive.
If you are running Solaris volume-management software, the software automatically mounts the disc as /cdrom/cdrom0. Type the following to go to the location.
# cd /cdrom
If you are not running Solaris volume-management software, you must mount the disc manually. For example,
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
In this example, /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 is the default for the disc drive.
After the disc is mounted, type the following command to go to the location.
# cd /cdrom
- To navigate to the directory that contains the packages, and then install the agent, run the following commands:
# cd pkgs
Caution:
The VRTSvcsea package includes the agent binaries for the Sybase agent. The package also installs the VCS agents for DB2 and Oracle.
# pkgadd -d VRTSvcsea.pkg
- Copy the
SybaseTypes.cffile from/etc/VRTSagents/ha/conf/Sybase/to/etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config.
To install the Japanese language pack on Solaris systems
- After you have installed the agent, insert the "Language" disc into a drive connected to the system.
If you are running Solaris volume-management software, the software automatically mounts the disc as
/cdrom/cdrom0. Type the following to go to the location.# cd /cdrom
If you are not running Solaris volume-management software, you must mount the disc manually. For example:
# mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
Where, in this example,
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2is the default for the disc drive.After the disc is mounted, type the following commands to go to the location.
# cd /cdrom
- Install the Japanese package.
# pkgadd -d VRTSjacse.pkg
