Instructions to install the OVPI Sybase EBF 9936 |
|
|
PROBLEM:
On HP-UX systems, srvbuild will not run unless EBF 9936 has been applied. Srvbuild is a Sybase utility that creates new Sybase server instances. Without srvbuild, a backup server cannot be created for Sybase. Without a backup, server backups cannot be performed on any Sybase database. HP ships EBF 9936 on a separate disk for HP-UX versions of OVPI, but this disk does not contain instructions on how to apply EBF 9936.
CONFIGURATION
Operating System - HP-UX
Version - 5.1
Product - performance insight
RESOLUTION:
To apply EBF 9936:
1. Stop trendtimer.
2. Create a backup of the $SYBASE directory.
3. As the superuser create a mount point for the CD-ROM:
mkdir /cdrom
4. Use the following command to find the CD-ROM device file:
ioscan -fnC disk
5. Mount the HP OpenView Performance Insight Sybase EBF CD-ROM:
mount -F cdfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom
Please note that the /dev/dsk/clt2d0 is the CD-ROM device file and will be different on different machines. It is used here for illustrative purposes only. If you have problems contact your HP-UX administrator.
6. As the sybase operating system user, do a recursive copy from the /cdrom/hpux/ebf9936 directory to the $SYBASE directory:
cp -R /cdrom/hpux/ebf9936/* $SYBASE
7. As the sybase operating system user, log into the SYBASE SQL server and stop the Sybase SQL server:
isql -Usa -P<password>
1> shutdown
2> go
8. As the sybase OS user, restart the Sybase SQL server:
$SYBASE/install/startserver -f $SYBASE/install/RUN_<HOSTNAME>_SYBASE
When the line "Loaded default Unilib conversion handle" has scrolled by, the SQL server is up and running.
9. As the sybase operating system user, run the following scripts:
isql -Usa -P<sa password> -n -i$SYBASE/scripts/installmaster
isql -Usa -P<sa password> -n -i$SYBASE/scripts/installcommit
isql -Usa -P<sa password> -n -i$SYBASE/scripts/instmsgs.ebf
10. Unmount the HP OpenView Performance Insight Sybase EBF CD-ROM, turn on trendtimer and make a backup of all databases.
You are finished.
