How to Configure Sybase ASE Database Access With Solaris Volume Manager

1. Configure the disk devices for the Solaris Volume Manager software to use.

   For information about how to configure Solaris Volume Manager, see Oracle Solaris Cluster Software Installation Guide .

2. If you use raw devices to contain the databases, run the following commands to change each raw-mirrored metadevice'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 commands for each device on each node that can master the Sybase ASE resource group.

      # chown sybase /dev/md/metaset/rdsk/dn
      # chgrp dba /dev/md/metaset/rdsk/dn
      # chmod 600 /dev/md/metaset/rdsk/dn

      metaset

      Specifies the name of the disk set

      /rdsk/dn

      Specifies the name of the raw disk device within the metaset disk set

   2. Verify that the changes are effective.

      # ls -lL /dev/md/metaset/rdsk/dn
