Importing the SybaseTypes.cf File

Before configuring the Sybase service group, you must import the SybaseTypes.cf file to the VCS engine.

  To import using the Cluster Manager

1. Start Cluster Manager and log on to the cluster.
2. From the File menu select Import Types...
3. In the Import Types dialog box, select the file:
     /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/sample_sybase/SybaseTypes.cf
4. Click Import.
5. Save the configuration.

  To import using the command line

1. Log in to a cluster system as root.
2. Ensure that all changes to the existing configuration have been saved and that further changes are prevented while you modify main.cf:
    # haconf -dump -makero
3. To ensure that VCS is not running while you edit main.cf, issue the following command to stop the VCS engine on all systems and leave the resources available:
    # hastop -all -force
4. Make a backup copy of the main.cf file:
    # cd /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config
    # cp main.cf main.cf.orig
5. Edit the main.cf file to include the SybaseTypes.cf file:
       include "../SybaseTypes.cf"

At this point, the Sybase types definition has been imported to the VCS engine. The Sybase agent can be configured without interrupting or stopping VCS.
