How to Configure Sybase ASE Database Access With Veritas Volume Manager

1. Configure the disk devices for the VxVM software to use.

   For information about how to configure Veritas Volume Manager, see Sun Cluster Software Installation Guide for Solaris OS.

2. If you use raw devices to contain the databases, run the following commands on the current disk-group primary to change each device's owner, group, and mode.

   If you do not use raw devices, do not perform this step.

   1. If you create raw devices, run the following command for each raw device.

      # vxedit -g diskgroup set user=sybase group=dba mode=0600 volume

   2. Verify that the changes are effective.

      # ls -lL /dev/vx/rdsk/diskgroup/volume

   3. Reregister the device group with the cluster to keep the VxVM namespace consistent throughout the cluster.

      # cldevicegroup create -t VxVM diskgroup
