Verifying the Sun Cluster HA for Sybase Installation

Perform the following verification tests to ensure the Sun Cluster HA for Sybase installation was performed correctly.

The purpose of these sanity checks is to ensure that the Sybase SQL Server can be started by all nodes running Sun Cluster HA for Sybase and can be accessed successfully by the other nodes in the configuration.

How to Verify the Sun Cluster HA for Sybase Installation

1. Log in to the Sun Cluster node mastering the logical host, and set the SYBASE environment variable.

   Log in as sybase to the Sun Cluster node that currently masters the logical host, and set the SYBASE environment variable to point to the directory in which the interfaces file resides.

   1. Confirm that you can start the SQL Server from this host.

   2. Confirm that you can connect to the Sybase SQL Server from this host.

   3. Shut down the SQL Server.

2. Transfer the logical host to another Sun Cluster node in the cluster.

   Use the haswitch(1M) command to transfer the logical host containing the SQL Server to another Sun Cluster node in the cluster.

3. Log in to the Sun Cluster node now mastering the logical host, and repeat the checks listed in Step 1.

   Log in as sybase to the new master node and confirm interactions with the SQL Server.
