Installing the agent

You can install the Veritas 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 HP-UX systems

  1. Insert the software disc into the system's disc drive.

  2. Log in as superuser.

  3. Set the display permission on your workstation.

    # xhost +myws
  4. Configure the shell environment variable DISPLAY on your workstation. For example, if your workstation has the name "myws." type

    For Bourne or Korn shell (sh or ksh)

       DISPLAY=myws:0.0
       export DISPLAY

    For C shell (csh or tcsh)

       setenv DISPLAY=myws:0.0

    Setting the DISPLAY environment variable this way enables you to use the SD-UX graphical interface.

  5. Create a mount point directory, /cdrom, if it does not exist. The directory must have read-write permissions.

  6. Determine the block device file for the disk drive. The device file should have the form /dev/dsk/c#t#d#. Type the following:

    # ioscan -fnC disk
  7. Mount the CD. For example, to mount the CD to the mount point /cdrom, type

    # mkdir /cdrom
    # mount /dev/dsk/clt2d0 /cdrom

    where /dev/dsk/clt2d0 is the drive's block device file.

  8. Type the following command to install the agent:

    # cd /cdrom/depot/
    # swinstall -s 'pwd' VRTSvcssy

    Repeat step 1 through step 8 on all nodes that are part of the Sybase service group.

  9. Copy the file SybaseTypes.cf from /etc/VRTSagents/ha/conf/Sybase/ directory to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory.
