Product(s): InfoScale & Storage Foundation (7.4.1)

Platform: Linux

Preparing to create a Sybase ASE CE cluster

The following procedure provides instructions for creating a file system for the quorum device.

To create the disk group, volume and mount point for a quorum device

Initalize the disk.

For exampe:

# vxdisksetup -i Disk_3 format=cdsdisk
# vxdisksetup -i Disk_4 format=cdsdisk

As root user, from the CVM master, create a shared VxVM diskgroup for the quorum device.
```
# vxdg -s init quorum_dg Disk_3 Disk_4
```

As root user, from the CVM master, create a mirrored volume, quorum_vol:

# vxassist -g quorum_dg make quorum_vol 
1G layout=mirrored \ 
nmirrors=2

As root user, from the CVM master, create a filesystem with the volume,quorum_vol.
```
# mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/quorum_dg/quorum_vol
```
On each system, create a directory, /quorum:
```
# mkdir /quorum
```

On each system, mount /quorum

# mount -t vxfs -o cluster /dev/vx/dsk/quorum_dg/quorum_vol
/quorum

As root user, from any system, change permissions on /quorum
```
# chown -R sybase:sybase /quorum
```

To create the disk group, volume and mount point for the datafiles

Initalize the disk.

For exampe:

# vxdisksetup -i Disk_5 format=cdsdisk
# vxdisksetup -i Disk_6 format=cdsdisk

As root user, create a shared VxVM diskgroup for the datafiles.
```
# vxdg -s init dbdata_dg Disk_5 Disk_6 
```

As root user, create a mirrored volume, sybvol:

# vxassist -g dbdata_dg make sybvol 1G layout=mirrored \
nmirrors=2

As root user, create a filesystem with the volume,sybvol.
```
# mkfs -t vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/dbdata_dg/sybvol
```
On each system, create a directory, /sybdata:
```
# mkdir /sybdata
```

On each system, mount /sybdata

# mount -t vxfs -o cluster /dev/vx/dsk/dbdata_dg/sybvol
/sybdata

As root user, from any system, change permissions on /sybdata
```
# chown -R sybase:sybase /sybdata
```
