How the Agent Makes Sybase Highly Available

In the basic monitoring mode, the agent detects an application failure if a configured Sybase server process is not running. In the detail monitoring mode, the agent detects application failure if it cannot perform a transaction in the test table in the Sybase database server.

When the agent detects that the configured Sybase server is not running on a system, the Sybase service group is failed over to the next available system in the service group's SystemList. The configured Sybase servers are started on the new system, thus ensuring high availability for the Sybase server and data.
