Installing the agent for Sybase

The agent binaries for Cluster Server agent for Sybase are a part of the VRTSvcsea RPM. The VRTSvcsea RPM is already installed if you chose to install all packages or recommended packages during VCS installation. You must manually install the VRTSvcsea RPM if you installed minimal packages during VCS installation. For Sybase ASE cluster edition, the VCS product installer installs the Sybase agent VRTSvcsea RPM along with other components.

You can also install the Cluster Server agent for Sybase from the product disc.

Install the agent for Sybase on each node in the cluster.

To install the agent on Linux systems

  1. Log in as superuser.
  2. Make sure that the agent is not already installed.

    Navigate to /opt/VRTSagents/ha/bin and list the contents of the directory. If the command returns the VCS agents for Sybase, you can skip this procedure.

  3. Insert the software disc that contains the Sybase agent software into the system's drive. The disc automatically mounts.

    If the disc does not automatically mount, enter:

    # mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
  4. Navigate to the folder that contains the agent software.
    # cd /mnt/cdrom/dist_arch/rpms

    Where

    dist is rhel6, rhel7, sles11, or sles12

    arch is x86_64 for RHEL and SLES

  5. Install the agent software.

    # rpm -i VRTSvcsea-7.3.0.000-RHEL6.x86_64.rpm

    # rpm -i VRTSvcsea-7.3.0.000-SLES11.x86_64.rpm
