Sun Cluster Data Service for Sybase ASE Guide for Solaris OS

Configuring Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE Extension Properties

This section describes how to configure Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE extension properties. Typically, you use the command line scrgadm -x parameter=value to configure extension properties when you create the Sybase ASE resources. You can also use the procedures that “Administering Data Service Resources” in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS describes to configure them later.

See the r_properties(5) and the rg_properties(5) man pages for details on all of the Sun Cluster extension properties.

Table 1–2 describes the extension properties that you can set for the Sybase ASE server resource. You can update some extension properties dynamically. You can update others, however, only when you create or disable a resource. The Tunable entries indicate when you can update each property.

Table 1–2 Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE Extension Properties

Name/Data Type 

Description 

Environment_File

File that contains all of the Sybase ASE environment variables. Sun Cluster HA for Sybase ASE requires that you define the variables SYBASE, SYBASE_ASE, and SYBASE_OCS. Other variables that you define are passed as environment variables to the Sybase server.

The definition of each environment variable defined must follow the format 


VARIABLE_NAME=VARIABLE_VALUE

Each of these environment variables must also be specified, one per line in the Environment_File.

Typically, users use the SYBASE.sh environment file created by the Sybase installation.


Note –

The value of this property is independent of the shell being used by the sybase user. In other words, the sybase user can have csh as its default shell.
