Hi Guys,
We have installed SQL Anywhere 16 as a cluster in our systems. We are using the mirroring settings to replicate the data from the primary DB to the secondary.
Everything works fine as expected. There is only one small issue i would like the experts help on.
I am creating Services for each of the Databases that are running on the system. We are using Windows.
I can create the services for the primary and secondary(mirror) databases fine and they work as expected.
Here are the service creation commands for Primary and secondary databases:
1. dbsvc -as -i -s auto -sd "The SQL Anywhere 16 Database Service" -t network -w SQLAnywhere16DB "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhere16\Bin64\dbsrv16.exe" -n ufs_mirror_server1 -x "tcpip(PORT=2639)" -su sql "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhereDBFiles\DB\smp3.db" -xp on
2. dbsvc -as -i -s auto -sd "The SQL Anywhere 16 Database Service" -t network -w SQLAnywhere16DB "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhere16\Bin64\dbsrv16.exe" -n ufs_mirror_server2 -x "tcpip(PORT=2639;DOBROAD=no)" -su sql "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhereDBFiles\DB\smp3.db" -xp on
I can create a service with the specific settings for the Arbiter. Although, when I try to start the service, i get an error from windows saying that "the service started and stopped because it is not used by any process."
Here is the command i use for the arbiter service creation:
dbsvc -as -i -s auto -sd "The SQL Anywhere 16 Arbiter Database Service" -t network -w SQLAnywhere16DBArbiter "F:\SAP\SQLAnywhere16\Bin64\dbsrv16 -n ufs_arbiter -x "tcpip(PORT=2640;DOBROAD=no)" -xf "F:\\SAP\\SQLAnywhereDBFiles\\DB\\arbiter.state" -xa "AUTH=ufsmirror;DBN=smp3"
When i use the dbrv16 command to start the network server that runs the Arbiter it starts just fine and i can see the connections established between the 2 systems. Although, i want this to start as a service so it can run all the time on the OS.
Can anyone help me identify the issue?
Here is the issue as displayed on the event viewer:
