Node-specific Configuration

Ensure that all files that are required by Sybase ASE to start up cleanly are updated and present on each node in the cluster or accessible through shared storage. It is the user's responsibility to replicate all files across all nodes, when using local configuration.

Error-Handling

During start up, the ASE server would require the IP/hostname that is mentioned in the interfaces file to be associated with a node name that it is configured to run on. If the IP is not configured, or ping-able, the ASE instance may fail to come up. Correct this using the guidelines specified in the next section.

Ensure that the setup has been done for all nodes in the cluster (or on shared storage) as specified by Sybase. Contact Sybase support for any issues.
