Typical Sybase Configuration in a VCS Cluster

In a typical configuration, VCS is configured in a two node cluster. The Sybase data is installed on shared disks. The Sybase server binaries can be installed locally on both nodes or on shared disks. The Sybase agent is installed on both nodes. The shared disks can be managed using VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM).

In the configuration depicted in the illustration below, the Sybase servers, including binaries and data, are installed completely on shared disks or shared cluster disk groups managed using VxVM.
