Serviceguard allows the Role Based Access feature to be switched off, in which case only the root
user will be able to view the package attributes.
As the Sybase administrator password is also entered in the package configuration ASCII file, it
is recommended that this file is secured either by using file permissions feature provided by the
operating system or by deleting the file after the package is applied.
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.
