Hi, My base system is Redhat ES3 and I am running a 2 node ssi cluster (ssi 2.4.20) on it for testing. My aim is to have sybase running on both nodes in a HA mode listening on the Cluster alias I set up. I tried running Sybase ASE 12.5.2 on it and the installation program fails at the time of creating the servers (namely in initializing the master device). I tried the longer srvbuildres method also with no success.=0D The error reported in the sybase logs is "process infected with 11". This is the log: Building Adaptive Server 'SSIDB': Writing entry into directory services... Directory services entry complete. Building master device... Task failed 00:00000:00001:2004/09/24 05:57:47.87 kernel current process (0x403ffce8) infected with 11 Server 'SSIDB' was not created. 00:00000:00001:2004/09/24 05:57:47.87 kernel current process (0x403ffce8) infected with 11 (continues with lots of similar lines) Logical page size for sybase was set to 2Kb. The sybase reference for this error does not shed much light on what could be going on in here... Has anybody else tried running sybase on OpenSSI successfully ? I would appreciate it if you could give me some pointers on that.

Hi John, That was a quick response :) In fact I was earlier trying to run Sybase= 12.5.1 on the same cluster and that would not come up. A check on google= and with sybase revealed that ASE 12.5.1 would not work on= kernel>2.4.18... Tried some fixes suggested on isug.com Sybase FAQ but no= headway. I looking at running a sybase failover+load balanced setup on this cluster.= I will try out the RH9 specific RPMs and tar and update this list. Thanks! Srinivas.

Since the kernel you are using is for RH9, I am=0D wondering whether that may be causing the problem. (In fact, some of us=0D are kind of shocked that installing the RH9 code on RHEL3 is working=0D well at all.) We do have a package for RHEL3. It can be found at: http://ci-linux.sourceforge.net/rhel/openssi-rhel3-1.0.0.i686.tar You also need to download a kernel with some fixes in it: http://ci-linux.sourceforge.net/rhel/kernel-ssi-smp-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL_ssi_2.= i686.rpm http://ci-linux.sourceforge.net/rhel/kernel-ssi-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-15.0= .4.EL_ssi_2.i686.rpm These packages should be installed with "rpm -Uvh <packages>" after you=0D install the tarball, but before you reboot. You can try the upgrade script in the tarball, I'm just not sure how=0D well it is going to work. I don't know of anyone who has done what you=0D are going to try. We have some people that work with us in Bangalore, we've sent e-mail=0D asking one of them to try to help you to avoid the timezone difference=0D issue. So I hope one of them will send you e-mail on Monday.

Thanks! Hi Srinivas, Sorry for the reply so late in the day. How did the install go? I'm in Bangalore, so I should be able to reply to your questions better starting Tuesday.

Hi John, I junked the old setup and kickstarted RH ES3 installs on my two nodes.Then= I installed the new ssi kernel and package(2.4.21 ssi EL ). Sybase comes= up fine on this... I have a sybase instance running on my root node now.= This brings me to the next hurdle.=0D I need to have a separate sybase instance running on the second node as= well. I would need that the second node boot up as the root node= does(independently without having to resort to PXE,without using any= shared storage or dbrd for now). The idea is that each sybase instance= utilizes the disks on that physical server only and we have a virtual IP= setup for the database which would point to either node1 or node2 based on= the weightage we give them(which is going to be equal since both nodes are= identical in every aspect; DL 380).=0D The data on both sybase dataservers would be kept in sync using Sybase= replication agent and Sybase HA. I also need to maintain a similar disk= structure on both nodes. Each node has its sybase home folder which has= the sybase master devices for that servers syb instance. I have a similar disk structure on node2 as I do on node1 and I want node2= to be distinguish its /opt/sybase from the /opt/sybase of node1 ?= Something like this... LABEL=3D/opt/sybase / ext3 defaults,node=3D1 0 1 (this is for node1= sybase home) LABEL=3D/opt/sybase / ext3 defaults,node=3D2 0 1 (this is for node2= sybase home) How can I have both of these co-exist in the same fstab? node1 should be able to write to its sybasehome and NOT node2 and vice= versa. How complex or simple does this get if i resort to using raw devices for= other databases (i.e.databases other than sybase system DBs). Srinivasan Mohan, Capital Markets Company, Bangalore.
