Attribute definitions for the SybaseBk agent
Review the description of the SybaseBk agent attributes. The agent attributes are classified as required and internal.
Table: Required attributes lists the required attributes for SybaseBk resource.
Table: Required attributes
Required Attributes
|
Definition |
Server
|
The $DSQUERY Backup name. Only one server should be configured
in a Sybase service group. The advantage of configuring Sybase
resources in a separate service group is, each Sybase data server
can failover independently. When multiple Sybase resources
are configured in a single service group, even if
one of the "n" data servers fail, the entire service group will be
failed over.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
Owner
|
Sybase user as the defined owner of executables and database files in any of the sources (such as NIS+, /etc/hosts, and so on) specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file for passwd entry. The Sybase executables and database files are accessed in the context of this user.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
Home
|
The $SYBASE path to Sybase binaries and configuration files.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
Version
|
Version of Sybase Backup Server.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
Backupserver
|
The $BACKUP SYBASE Backup Server name.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
SA
|
Sybase database administrator. This attribute is required to connect to the ASE for shutdown.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
|
SApswd
|
Encrypted password of Sybase database administrator. This password is required to connect to the ASE for shutdown.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
Note: |
You need not specify a value for this attribute if the SA user does not require a password. |
|
Table: Optional attribute lists the optional attribute for SybaseBk agent.

Run_ServerFile
|
Specifies the location of the RUN_SERVER file for the Sybase instance. The default location of this file is used if no value is specified for this attribute.
Type and dimension: String-scalar
Default value: No default value
|
interfaces _File
|
Specifies the location of interfaces file for the Sybase instance. If this attribute is configured, [-I interfaces file] option is used when connecting to the isql session. If this attribute is not configured, the agent does not use the -I option.
Type and dimension: string-scalar
Default value: No defalult value
For example: /sybase/my_interfaces_file
Note: |
It is assumed that you have modified the RUN_ServerFile with the non-default interface file location if the interfaces_File attribute is configured. |
|
IMF
|
This resource-type level attribute determines whether the Sybase agent
must perform intelligent resource monitoring. You can also override the
value of this attribute at resource-level.
This attribute includes the following keys:
-
Mode: Define this attribute to enable or disable intelligent resource
monitoring.
Valid values are as follows:
0 - Does not perform intelligent resource monitoring
1 - Performs intelligent resource monitoring for offline resources
and performs poll-based monitoring for online resources
2 - Performs intelligent resource monitoring for online resources
and performs poll-based monitoring for offline resources
-
3 - Performs intelligent resource monitoring for both online and for
offline resources
Default: 3
-
MonitorFreq: This key value specifies the frequency at which the agent
invokes the monitor agent function. The value of this key is an integer.
Default: 5
You can set this key to a non-zero value for cases where the agent
requires to perform both poll-based and intelligent resource monitoring.
If the value is 0, the agent does not perform poll-based process check
monitoring.
After the resource registers with the AMF kernel driver, the agent calls
the monitor agent function as follows:
-
RegisterRetryLimit: If you enable intelligent resource monitoring, the
agent invokes the oracle_imf_register agent function to register the
resource with theAMFkernel driver. The value of the RegisterRetryLimit
key determines the number of times the agent must retry registration
for a resource. If the agent cannot register the resource within the limit
that is specified, then intelligent monitoring is disabled until the
resource state changes or the value of the Mode key changes.
Default: 3
Type and dimension: Integer-association.
