Hi, we are playing around with HA and wondering a bit why there is no wizzard for configurating. We don't even know how to ask for the current configuration. Bernd |

Which SQL Anywhere version (and build number) do you use? There is a whole chapter in the docs on HA - e.g. this page on how to setup HA for v12.0.1. Unless you start the database server explicitly with the -xp database option, you can't use HA at all. Besides that, the following database properties might tell you more. select db_property('MirrorRole'), db_property('MirrorServerState'), db_property('MirrorState'), db_property('MirrorMode'), db_property('PartnerState'); For a non-mirrored database on a server not startet with -xp, they all return NULL. Hi, in the helpfiles I found some samples for configuration. So I did the following: CREATE MIRROR SERVER "scaleout_primary" AS PRIMARY... CREATE MIRROR SERVER "scaleout_mirror" AS MIRROR ... CREATE MIRROR SERVER "scaleout_arbiter" AS ARBITER ... CREATE MIRROR SERVER "scaleout_server1" AS PARTNER... It works, but where can I see this config? What if I want to change the servername? My only solution is a unload and examin the reload-sql. Bernd

sorry now I found select * from SYSMIRRORSERVER; select * from sysmirroroption; select * from SYSMIRRORSERVEROption; Thats ok but not convenient. I really expect that in Sybase Central. Bernd

Can't claim whether there's a GUI support to setup HA. I would always prefer a script based approach in order to get a reproducable setup. But that's just my very humble opinion. FWIW: There's an article on Breck Carter's blog how to setup a (v10) HA setup with some demo stuff: Demonstrating High Availability IMHO, you will have to setup such a system and test with your clients to find out what happens when a fail-over occurs and how a server can be restarted - and these are tasks that are way beyond Sybase Central's responsibility, methinks...
