Neelesh,

You need to kill off the other dataserver processes that hold the master device open.

Thanks Cory,
But I am creating new Sybase instance. Ideally while creating sybase
instance multiple dataserver processes get started until next reboot.
In ASE 15.0.2 and earlier releases I never had this issue on the same
machine.

Maybe maybe not, but this line in the error log ...

"kernel basis_dlock: file '/qa/data/sbt/V1503B64/dat/master.dat'

already in use by an ASE"

... says that more than one instance is trying to use the same
master database file. I can not conceive of any circumstance
where that can possibly work. Perhaps there is something wrong
in the "RUN_{database}" scripts between the two instances?

Maybe you should run "srvbuild" again and take care to be sure
the data files are in a unique location?

The issue was not at all related to RUN_ file.
It got resolved after unsetting variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL :P
