Preparing to Install Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE

To prepare your nodes for the Sun Cluster HA for Sybase Adaptive Server 12.0 installation, select an installation location for the following files.

• Sybase ASE application files – These files include Sybase ASE binaries and libraries. You can install these files on either the local file system or the cluster file system.

  See “Configuration Guidelines for Sun Cluster Data Services” in Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service Planning and Administration Guide for the advantages and disadvantages of placing the Sybase ASE binaries on the local file system as opposed to the cluster file system.

• Sybase ASE configuration files – These files include the interfaces file, config file, and environment file. You can install these files on the local file system (with links), the highly available local file system, or on the cluster file system.

• Database data files – These files include Sybase device files. You must install these files on the highly available local file system or the cluster file system as either raw devices or regular files.
