Preparing to Install Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASETo prepare your nodes or the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE installation, select aninstallation location or the ollowing les.

SybaseASEapplicationfles.These les include Sybase ASE binaries and libraries. You caninstall these les on either the local le system or the cluster le system.

For inormation about the advantages and disadvantages o placing the Sybase ASE binarieson the local le system instead o the cluster le system, see Conguration Guidelines orOracle Solaris Cluster Data Services in Oracle Solaris Cluster Data Services Planning and

Administration Guide.

SybaseASE confgurationfles.These les include the interfaces le, config le, andenvironment le. You can install these les on the local le system (with links), the highlyavailable local le system, or on the cluster le system.

Databasedata fles.These les include Sybase device les. You must install these les on thehighly available local le system or the cluster le system as either raw devices or regularles.

Note Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE can be installed and congured in the global zoneor non-global zone or x86/x64 and SPARC architectures.

How to Prepare the Nodes or the Installation o theSybase ASE Sotware

Caution Perorm all o the steps inthis procedure on all o the nodes or zones. I you do not

perorm all o the steps on all o the nodes or zones, the Sybase ASE installation will be

incomplete, and Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE will ail during startup.

Note Consult the Sybase ASE documentation beore you perorm this procedure.

Become superuser on all o the nodes.

Confgure the /etc/nsswitch.conf fle as ollows so thatSolaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE

starts and stops correctly i a switchover or ailover occurs.

On each node or zone that can master the logical host that runs Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase

ASE, include the ollowing entries in the /etc/nsswitch.conf le.passwd: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis [TRYAGAIN=0]

publickey: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis [TRYAGAIN=0]

project: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis [TRYAGAIN=0]

group: files [NOTFOUND=return] nis [TRYAGAIN=0]

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE uses the su usercommand to start and stop the databasenode.

The network inormation name service might become unavailable when a cluster node's publicnetwork ails. Adding the preceding entries ensures that the su(1M) command does not reer to

the NIS/NIS+ name services i the network inormation name service is unavailable.

Confgure the cluster fle systemor Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE.

I raw devices contain the databases, congure the global devices or raw-device access. For

inormation about how to congure global devices, see Oracle Solaris Cluster SotwareInstallation Guide.

Note Conguring raw devices on non-global zones is not supported on Oracle Solaris Cluster.

I you use the Solaris Volume Manager sotware, congure the Sybase ASE sotware to use

UNIX le system (UFS) logging on mirrored metadevices or raw-mirrored metadevices. For

inormation about how to congure raw-mirrored metadevices, see the Solaris Volume

Manager documentation.

Prepare the SYBASE_HOME directory on a local or multihost disk.

Note I you install the Sybase ASE binaries on a local disk, use a separate disk i possible.

Installing the Sybase ASE binaries on a separate disk prevents the binaries rom being

overwritten during reinstallation o the operating system.

On each node or zone, create an entry or the database administrator (DBA) group in the

/etc/group fle, and add potential users to the group.

Veriy that the root and sybase users are members o the dba group, and add entries asnecessary or other DBA users. Ensure that group IDs are the same on all o the nodes or zones

that run Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE, as the ollowing example illustrates.

dba:*:520:root,sybase

You can create group entries in a network name service. I you create entries this way, also addyour entries to the local /etc/group le to eliminate dependency on the network name service.

On each node or zone, create an entry or the Sybase systemadministrator.

The ollowing command updates the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow les with an entry or the

Sybase system administrator.

# useradd -u 120 -g dba -d /Sybase-home sybase

Ensure that the sybase user entry is the same on all o the nodes or zones that run Solaris ClusterHA or Sybase ASE.

On a cluster node or zone, become superuser or assume a role that provides

solaris.cluster.modify and solaris.cluster.admin RBAC authorizations.

I you plan to install the Sybase ASE sotware on the cluster flesystem, startthe Oracle Solaris

Cluster sotware and become the owner o the disk device group.

I you plan to install the Sybase ASE sotware at another location, omit this step.

For more inormation about installation locations, see Preparing to Install Solaris Cluster HAor Sybase ASE on page 13.

Create a ailover resource group to holdthe network and application resources.

# clresourcegroup create [-n node-zone-list] resource-group

-n node-zone-list Species an optional, comma-separated list o physical node names orzones or IDs that identiy potential masters. The order here determinesthe order in which the Resource Group Manager (RGM) considersprimary nodes or zones during ailover.

resource-group Species the name o the resource group. This name can be your choicebut must be unique or resource groups within the cluster.

Note Use the -n option to speciy the order o the node list. I all o the nodes in the cluster arepotential masters, you do not need to use the -n option.

Veriy that you have added all o the network resources that Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE

uses to either the /etc/inet/hosts fle or to your name service (NIS, NIS+) database.

Add a network resource (logical hostname or shared address) to the ailover resource group.

# clreslogicalhostname create -g resource-group -h host_list logical_host

logical_host Species a resource name o your choice.

host_list Species a comma-separated list o host names that are to be made available bythe logical host name resource.

Run the clresourcegroup(1CL) command to complete the ollowing tasks.

Enabling the resource and ault monitoring Moving the resource group into a managed state Bringing the resource group online

# clresourcegroup online -M resource-group

On the node or zone that masters the resource group thatyou just created,log in as sybase.

The installation o the Sybase binaries must be perormed on the node or zone where the

corresponding logical host is running.

Install the Sybase ASE sotware.

Regardless o where you install the Sybase ASE sotware, modiy each node's /etc/system lesas you would in standard Sybase ASE installation procedures. For instructions about how toinstall the Sybase ASE sotware, reer to the Sybase installation and conguration guides.

For every Sybase ASE server, speciythe hostname that is associated with a network resource.

I you do not speciy a host name that is associated with a network resource, Sybase ASE startsonly on the node or zone where the Sybase ASE sotware was installed.

Some versions o Sybase ASE, such as 12.5, prompt you or the host name. Other versions oSybase ASE, such as 12.5.1, use the physical host name. I your version o Sybase ASE uses thephysical host name, you must change the physical host name to speciy a network resource.

I the Sybase ASE installer prompts you or the host name, type the host name in response tothe prompt.

How to Create the Sybase ASE Database EnvironmentThe Sybase ASE database environment consists o the ollowing servers:

Data server Backup server Monitor server Text server XP server

Creating the Sybase ASE database environment involves conguring these servers.

Ensure that you have completed the ollowing tasks.

Establish a highly available IP address and name, that is, a network resource that operates atinstallation time.

Locate device paths or all o the Sybase ASE devicesincluding the master device andsystem devicesin the highly available local le system or cluster le system. Conguredevice paths as one o the ollowing le types.

Regular les Raw devices Files that the Solaris Volume Manager sotware or the VxVM sotware manages

Locate the Sybase ASE server logs in either the cluster le system or the local le system.

Ensure that the password or the Sybase ASE system administrator account is correctlyspecied.

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE must be able to start and monitor the monitor server. To

meet this requirement, ensure that the password or the Sybase ASE system administratoraccount (sa) is specied in the le RUN_monitor-server, where monitor-serveris the name othe Sybase ASE monitor server. This name is dened during the Sybase ASE installation. Formore inormation, see your Sybase ASE documentation.

I you do not set the required password in the RUN_monitor-serverle, the Solaris ClusterHA or Sybase ASE data service cannot start the monitor service. I no password is set or thesa account, you do not need to modiy the RUN_monitor-serverle.

Create an interfaces le or the cluster.

The entire cluster must contain only one copy o the interfaces le. The $SYBASE directorycontains the interfaces le. I you plan to maintain per-node le copies, ensure the lecontents are identical.

All o the clients that connect to Sybase ASE servers connect with Sybase OpenClientlibraries and utilities. When you congure the Sybase ASE sotware, in the interfaces le,enter inormation about the network resource and various ports. All o the clients use this

connection inormation to connect to the Sybase ASE servers.

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE Logging Issues

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE logs messages to the le message_log in the/opt/SUNWscsyb/log directory. Although this le cannot exceed 512 Kbytes, Solaris ClusterHA or Sybase ASE does not delete old log les. The number o log les, thereore, can grow to alarge number.

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE writes all o the error messages in the syslog le. SolarisCluster HA or Sybase ASE also logs ault monitor history to the le restart_history in thelog directory. These les can also grow to a large number.

As part o your regular le maintenance, check the ollowing log les and remove les that youno longer need.

Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE Security IssuesSolaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE requires that you embed the system administrator's

password in a stop le. The /opt/SUNWscsyb/bin directory contains the template or the stople, sybase_stop_servers. Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE uses this le to log in to theSybase ASE environment and to stop the Sybase ASE servers. Enable the sybase user to executethe stop le, but protect the le rom general access. Give read, write, and execute privileges toonly the ollowing users.

Tuning the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE Fault MonitorThe Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor queries the Sybase ASE server todetermine server health.

Note The Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor monitors only the Adaptive server.

The ault monitor does not monitor auxiliary servers.

The Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor is contained in the resource thatrepresents Sybase ASE. You create this resource when you register and congure Solaris ClusterHA or Sybase ASE. For more inormation, see Registering and Conguring Solaris ClusterHA or Sybase ASE on page 23.

System properties and extension properties o this resource control the behavior o the aultmonitor. The deault values o these properties determine the preset behavior o the aultmonitor. The preset behavior should be suitable or most Oracle Solaris Cluster installations.Thereore, you should tune the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor only i youneed to modiy this preset behavior.

Tuning the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor involves the ollowing tasks:

Setting the interval between ault monitor probes

Setting the timeout or ault monitor probes Dening the criteria or persistent aults Speciying the ailover behavior o a resource

Perorm these tasks when you register and congure Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE. Formore inormation, see the ollowing sections:

The Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor consists o the ollowing processes.

Main ault-monitor process Database-client ault probe

Main Fault-Monitor Process

The ault monitor process diagnoses errors and checks statistics. The monitor labels anoperation successul i the ollowing conditions occur.

The database is online. The activity check returns no errors. The test transaction returns no errors.

I an operation ails, the main process checks the action table or an action to perorm and thenperorms the predetermined action. I an operation ails, the main process can perorm theollowing actions.

1. Restarting the resource on the current node

2. Restarting the resource group on the current node

3. Failing over the resource group to the next node on the resource group's node list

These actions execute external programs as separate processes in the background.

The server ault monitor also scans the Adaptive_Server_Log le and corrects any errors thatthe scan identies.

Database-Client Fault Probe

The database-client ault probe perorms activity checks and test transactions. The extensionpropertyConnect_string species an account that perorms all o the database operations. Theextension propertyProbe_timeout sets the time-out value that the probe uses to determine thetime that has elapsed in a successul database probe.

Obtaining Core Files orTroubleshooting

To acilitate troubleshooting o unexplained DBMS timeouts, you can enable the ault monitorto create a core le when a probe timeout occurs. The contents o the core le relate to the aultmonitor process. The ault monitor creates the core le in the / directory. To enable the aultmonitor to create a core le, use the coreadm command to enable set-id core dumps. For more

inormation, see the coreadm(1M) man page.

Customizing the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE FaultMonitor

Customizing the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor enables you to modiy thebehavior o the server ault monitor as ollows:

Overriding the preset action or an error Speciying an action or an error or which no action is preset

Caution Beore you customize the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor, consider

the eects o your customizations, especially i you change an action rom restart or switch overto ignore or stop monitoring. I errors remain uncorrected or long periods, the errors mightcause problems with the database. I you encounter problems with the database atercustomizing the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor, revert to using the presetactions. Reverting to the preset actions enables you to determine i the problem is caused byyour customizations.

Customizing the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor involves the ollowingactivities:

Dening Custom Behavior or Errors on page 31 Propagating a Custom Action File to All Nodes in a Cluster on page 39 Speciying the Custom Action File That a Server Fault Monitor Should Use on page 40

Defning Custom Behavior or ErrorsThe Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor detects the ollowing types o errors:

DBMS errors that occur during a probe o the database by the server ault monitor

Alerts that Sybase ASE logs in the Sybase ASE log le

Timeouts that result rom a ailure to receive a response within the time that is set by theProbe_timeout extension property

To dene custom behavior or these types o errors, create a custom action le.

Custom Action File Format

A custom action le is a plain text le. The le contains one or more entries that dene thecustom behavior o the Solaris Cluster HA or Sybase ASE ault monitor. Each entry denes thecustom behavior or a single DBMS error, a single timeout error, or several logged alerts. A

maximum o 1024 entries is allowed in a custom action le.



8/6/2019 821-2908

32/52

Note Each entry in a custom action le overrides the preset action or an error, or species anaction or an error or which no action is preset. Create entries in a custom action le only or

the preset actions that you are overriding or or errors or which no action is preset. Do notcreate entries or actions that you are not changing.

An entry in a custom action le consists o a sequence o keyword-value pairs that are separatedby semicolons. Each entry is enclosed in braces.

The ormat o an entry in a custom action le is as ollows:

{[ERROR_TYPE=DBMS_ERROR|SCAN_LOG|TIMEOUT_ERROR;]ERROR=error-spec;[ACTION=SWITCH|RESTART|STOP|NONE;][CONNECTION_STATE=co|di|on|*;][NEW_STATE=co|di|on|*;][MESSAGE="message-string"]}

White space might be used between separated keyword-value pairs and between entries to

ormat the le.

The meaning and permitted values o the keywords in a custom action le are as ollows:

ERROR_TYPE

Indicates the type o the error that the server ault monitor has detected. The ollowingvalues are permitted or this keyword:

DBMS_ERROR Species that the error is a DBMS error.

SCAN_LOG Species that the error is an alert that is logged in the alert log le.

TIMEOUT_ERROR Species that the error is a timeout.

The ERROR_TYPE keyword is optional. I you omit this keyword, the error is assumed to be aDBMS error.

ERROR

Identies the error. The data type and the meaning oerror-spec are determined by the value

o the ERROR_TYPE keyword as shown in the ollowing table.

* Species that the state o the connection must remain unchanged.

co Species that the server ault monitor must disconnect rom the database andreconnect immediately to the database.

di Species that the server ault monitor must disconnect rom the database. The serverault monitor reconnects when it next probes the database.

The NEW_STATE keyword is optional. I you omit this keyword, the state o the databaseconnection remains unchanged ater the error is detected.

MESSAGE

Species an additional message that is printed to the resource's log le when this error is

detected. The message must be enclosed in double quotes. This message is additional to thestandard message that is dened or the error.

The MESSAGE keyword is optional. I you omit this keyword, no additional message is printedto the resource's log le when this error is detected.

Changing the Response to a DBMS Error

The action that the server ault monitor perorms in response to each DBMS error is preset aslisted in Table B1. To determine whether you need to change the response to a DBMS error,consider the eect o DBMS errors on your database to determine i the preset actions areappropriate. For examples, see the subsections that ollow.

To change the response to a DBMS error, create an entry in a custom action le in which thekeywords are set as ollows:

ERROR_TYPE is setto DBMS_ERROR.

ERROR is set to the error number o the DBMS error. ACTION is set to the action that you require.

Responding to an Error Whose Eects Are Major

I an error that the server ault monitor ignores aects more than one session, action by theserver ault monitor might be required to prevent a loss o service.

For example, see the ollowing error message:

Illegal attempt to change contents of buffer: %S_BUF.

No action is preset or Sybase error 835, Illegal attempt to change contents of buffer:%S_BUF. However, this Sybase error indicates that the when a client process completes, AdaptiveServer perorms some cleanup tasks such as closing the buers and releasing the resourcestaken up by the buers. I the client process terminates abnormally, however (or example i theprocess is killed during execution), Adaptive Server might be unable to carry out the

appropriate cleanup, buers are let open, and Error 835 is raised. I this error aects only a

EXAMPLE 12 Ignoring a DBMS Error

{ERROR_TYPE=DBMS_ERROR;ERROR=804;ACTION=none;CONNECTION_STATE=*;NEW_STATE=*;MESSAGE="Unable to find buffer 0x%lx holding logical page %ld in sdes0x%lx kept buffer pool for object %.*s.";}

This example shows an entry in a custom action le that overrides the preset action or DBMSerror 804. This entry species the ollowing behavior:

The server ault monitor ignores DBMS error 804. This entry applies regardless o the state o the connection between the database and the

server ault monitor when the error is detected.

The state o the connection between the database and the server ault monitor must remainunchanged ater the error is detected.

No additional message is printed to the resource's log le when this error is detected.

Changing the Response to Logged Alerts

The Sybase ASE sotware logs alerts in a le that is identied by the Adaptive_Server_Log_File extension property. The server ault monitor scans this le and perorms actions inresponse to alerts or which an action is dened.

Logged alerts or which an action is preset are listed in Table B2. Change the response tologged alerts to change the preset action, or to dene new alerts to which the server ault

monitor responds.To change the response to logged alerts, create an entry in a custom action le in which thekeywords are set as ollows:

ERROR_TYPE is setto SCAN_LOG.

ERROR is set to a quoted regular expression that identies a string in an error message thatSybase ASE has logged to the Sybase ASE log le.

ACTIONis set to the action that you require.

The server ault monitor processes the entries in a custom action le in the order in which theentries occur. Only the rst entry that matches a logged alert is processed. Later entries thatmatch are ignored. I you are using regular expressions to speciy actions or several loggedalerts, ensure that more specic entries occur beore more general entries. Specic entries thatoccur ater general entries might be ignored.

For example, a custom action le might dene dierent actions or errors that are identied by

the regular expressions Attempt to dirty non-log and Attempt to unhash buffer. To

Note You are not required to create an entry or the rst timed-out probe. The action that theserver ault monitor perorms in response to the rst timed-out probe is preset.

For the last allowed timed-out probe, create an entry in which the keywords are set as ollows:

ERROR_TYPE is setto TIMEOUT_ERROR.

ERROR is set to the maximum number o consecutive timed-out probes that are allowed.

ACTION is set to RESTART.

For each remaining consecutive timed-out probe except the rst timed-out probe, create anentry in which the keywords are set as ollows:

ERROR_TYPE is setto TIMEOUT_ERROR.

ERROR is set to the sequence number o the timed-out probe. For example, or the secondconsecutive timed-out probe, set this keyword to 2. For the third consecutive timed-outprobe, set this keyword to 3.

ACTION is set to NONE.

Tip To acilitate debugging, speciy a message that indicates the sequence number o thetimed-out probe.

The ollowing example shows the entries in a custom action le or increasing the maximumnumber o consecutive timed-out probes to ve.

EXAMPLE 14 Changing the Maximum Number o ConsecutiveTimed-Out Probes{ERROR_TYPE=TIMEOUT;ERROR=2;ACTION=NONE;CONNECTION_STATE=*;NEW_STATE=*;MESSAGE="Timeout #2 has occurred.";}

{ERROR_TYPE=TIMEOUT;ERROR=3;ACTION=NONE;CONNECTION_STATE=*;NEW_STATE=*;MESSAGE="Timeout #3 has occurred.";}

{ERROR_TYPE=TIMEOUT;

ERROR=4;

EXAMPLE 14 Changing the Maximum Number o Consecutive Timed-Out Probes (Continued)

ACTION=NONE;CONNECTION_STATE=*;

NEW_STATE=*;MESSAGE="Timeout #4 has occurred.";}

{ERROR_TYPE=TIMEOUT;ERROR=5;ACTION=RESTART;CONNECTION_STATE=*;NEW_STATE=*;MESSAGE="Timeout #5 has occurred. Restarting.";}

This example shows the entries in a custom action le or increasing the maximum number oconsecutive timed-out probes to ve. These entries speciy the ollowing behavior:

The server ault monitor ignores the second consecutive timed-out probe through theourth consecutive timed-out probe.

In response to the th consecutive timed-out probe, the server ault monitor perorms arestart.

The entries apply regardless o the state o the connection between the database and theserver ault monitor when the timeout occurs.

The state o the connection between the database and the server ault monitor must remainunchanged ater the timeout occurs.

When the second consecutive timed-out probe through the ourth consecutive timed-outprobe occurs, a message o the ollowing orm is printed to the resource's log le:

Timeout #number has occurred. When the th consecutive timed-out probe occurs, the ollowing message is printed to the

resource's log le:

Timeout #5 has occurred. Restarting.

Propagating a Custom Action File to All Nodes in a

ClusterA server ault monitor must behave consistently on all cluster nodes or zones. Thereore, thecustom action le that the server ault monitor uses must be identical on all cluster nodes orzones. Ater creating or modiying a custom action le, ensure that this le is identical on allcluster nodes or zones by propagating the le to all cluster nodes or zones. To propagate the leto all cluster nodes or zones, use the method that is most appropriate or your clusterconguration:

Locating the le on a le system that all nodes or zones share


L ti th l hi hl il bl l l l t


8/6/2019 821-2908

40/52

Locating the le on a highly available local le system

Copying the le to the local le system o each cluster node or zone by using operatingsystem commands such as the rcp(1) command or the rdist(1) command

Speciying the Custom Action File That a Server FaultMonitor Should Use

To apply customized actions to a server ault monitor, you must speciy the custom action lethat the ault monitor should use. Customized actions are applied to a server ault monitor

when the server ault monitor reads a custom action le. A server ault monitor reads a customaction le when the you speciy the le.

Speciying a custom action le also validates the le. I the le contains syntax errors, an errormessage is displayed. Thereore, ater modiying a custom action le, speciy the le again tovalidate the le.

Caution I syntax errors in a modied custom action le are detected, correct the errors beore

the ault monitor is restarted. I the syntax errors remain uncorrected when the ault monitor isrestarted, the ault monitor reads the erroneous le, ignoring entries that occur ater the rstsyntax error.

How to Speciy the Custom Action FileThat a Server Fault MonitorShould Use

On a cluster node or zone, become superuser or assume a role that providessolaris.cluster.modify RBAC authorization.

Set the Custom_action_file extension property o the SUNW.sybase resource.

Set this property to the absolute path o the custom action le.
