On Asianux Server 3 SP2 (x86_64), when installing Sybase ASE 15, the building of the Backup server fails. What can be done?

Answer:

Follow the procedure below:

• #: run commands using root account,
• $: run commands using sybase account.

If step 1 has already been done, it can be skipped.

1. With root account:
   

   # cat /opt/sybase/SYBASE.sh >> /home/sybase/.bash_profile

   # su - sybase

2. With Sybase account
   

   $ export LD_POINTER_GUARD=0

   $ mkdir -p ~/rs

   $ cp ~/ASE-15_0/init/sample_resource_files/srvbuild.backup_server.rs ~/rs/bs.rs

3. modify bs.rs as below:
   

   sybinit.release_directory: USE_DEFAULT

   sybinit.product: bsrv

   bsrv.server_name: <YOUR SERVER NAME>

   bsrv.new_config: yes

   bsrv.do_add_backup_server: yes

   bsrv.do_upgrade: no

   bsrv.network_protocol_list: tcp

   bsrv.network_hostname_list: <YOUR HOSTNAME LIST>

   bsrv.network_port_list: 5001

   bsrv.language: USE_DEFAULT

   bsrv.character_set: USE_DEFAULT

   bsrv.tape_config_file: USE_DEFAULT

   bsrv.errorlog: USE_DEFAULT

   sqlsrv.related_sqlsrvr: <YOUR SQLSRV SERVER NAME>

   sqlsrv.sa_login: sa

   sqlsrv.sa_password: USE_DEFAULT

   bsrv.addl_cmdline_parameters:

   You need to change <YOUR SERVER NAME>, <YOUR HOSTNAME LIST> and <YOUR SQLSRVSERVER NAME> to the correct names of your system./span>

4. Build the server
   

   $ srvbuildres -r ~/rs/bs.rs
