ASE 12.5.1 Installation Question

[Germano]

Hi,

I'm trying to install ASE 12.5.1 Developer's edition on RHEL AS 3 from the
downloaded file which I unzipped using tar, but I'm getting the following
error:

./setup -is:javahome /home/sybase/JVM

Searching for Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
...........................A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run the
program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>

Here are the contents of the directory:

This is my second installation. The first one was on a test PC running Red
Hat 8.0 and not using raw devices, just to get my feet wet. Everything
worked fine on this machine, but for some reason I'm getting this error on
RHEL AS 3, which will be closer to the final configuration once I go to
production and purchase the real ASE license from Sybase.

Any ideas why?

Java is a real nightmare!

The java VM that comes on the 12.5.1 CD is for RHEL 2.1.
For some reason it doesn't run on RHEL 3.0

Where did you get /home/sybase/JVM ????

I managed to install 12.5.1 on RHEL 3.0 after downloading the JVM from

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

For a production DB, do double check with Sybase if 12.5.1 is ready for RHEL
3.0
I don't belive it is certified on 3.0

The /home/sybase/JVM was created when I extracted the tar file. My hope is
that 12.5.1 will be certified on RHEL 3.0 by the time I'm going to
production, which should be aound May/June.

OK, I've downloaded JAV, but how do I install it?

It does not appear to be a package, so I can't use rpm.

IIRC it's a self-installing binary executable, so you just need to run the
file that you just downloaded.

There should be instructions on Sun's site, as well.

Yes, it was just a matter of chmod a+x the file to make it executable, but
the ASe install failed with the typical "Incorrectly built binary which
accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.", which I've seen in
previous posts that it is safe, but in my case ASE does not start.

Here's my log file from the installation:

If you read your error log completely, you'll notice another error:

*that* is the problem. See http://www.peppler.org/FAQ/linux.html#q1.18 for
some information on how to fix this.

this might help - courtesy of svaardt -

I managed to get my RH WS Enterprise 3 running Sybase 12.5.1 by changing
the JRE reference and specifying the shared memory configuration as
suggested. Be careful altering the 'functions' file - if you make a
mistake you will have to reboot off a disk as the swap space will be
closed out and you will find yourself in readonly mode - as root !:
Just completed installing Sybase ASE 12.5.1 upon a fresh out of the
box, Fedora Core-1 installation running on an ix86 based machine.

Here are the notes I copied from svaardt which I saw on another news page:

It's working now, ASE Server starts up. Backup Server too.

1. Downloaded & installed the jre1.4.2_03

Fedora didn't appear to come with a Java Runtime engine, and any
attempts to run the Java installation that came with the Sybase 12.5.1
release just raised errors.

2. Setup Shared memory:

1. Edited /etc/sysctl.conf
2. Added the following line (size in bytes)
kernel.shmmax=536870912
3. Saved file, and ran the following command:
/sbin/sysctl -p

3. Created sybase user account, and in it's .cshrc file, updated the PATH
variable to be able to run java from the command-line.

setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin

4. Created the /opt/sybase directory, and chowned it to the sybase user.

5. Ran the Sybase ASE setup as the sybase user.

a) note for the license agreement bit, you actually have to click the
down-arrow symbol, clicking the country name is simply no good. You
could of course just hit the down key several times...

b) Choose the "Full" installation from the list of Typical, Full and
Custom selections. Incidentally the icons alongside each seem a bit
confusing Typical has everything selected whereas Full doesn't...

c) Ran with the remainder of the install using the defaults

Although the following message arose, but I have yet to see any serious
side effect:

Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs
to be fixed.

So have ignored it, has anyone any ideas as to what it means...

6. The License manager script (lmgr) fails with the following error :

Error occurred during initialization of VM Unable to load native
library: /opt/sybase/shared-1_0/JRE-1_3/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol
__libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link
time reference

To fix this, I edited the lmgr script altering the "JRE_DIR" setting,
such that it points to the JRE that I installed in #1 above.

It seems to work, however upon exiting the following message arises:

lmutil - Copyright (C) 1989-2002 Macrovision Corporation
Shutdown failed: Cannot connect to license server (-15,570:111 "Connection
refused")

7. isql gave me an error about locale settings, until I added the
following to the environment:

setenv LC_ALL C
setenv LANG C

Made these settings permanent by adding to the file $SYBASE/SYBASE.csh
which I then soured within $HOME/.cshrc. Equivalent changes made also
to the corresponding SYBASE.sh script since I use that later on:

---CUT---8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------
# .cshrc
setenv PATH ${PATH}:/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_03/bin
source /opt/sybase/SYBASE.csh
---CUT---8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------

8. Installation of startup scripts (root user):

I found I needed two scripts. One to kick off the license manager
& the other for the sybase servers. Both I have borrowed from:

http://www.mbay.net/~mpeppler/Linux-ASE-FAQ.html#q1.2

The sybase server startup script only launches the main ASE Server &
it's backup server, the others don't startup at boot - it'll probably
take me a bit more time to figure that one out.

6a. Script to start the license manager: /etc/rc.d/init.d/lmgrd

(If you use these, take care to check that the formatting here
hasn't messed the script completely up)

---CUT---8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------

exit 0

6b. Script to start Sybase : /etc/rc.d/init.d/sybase125

hasn't messed the script completely up)

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting Sybase ASE ... "
cd ${SYBASE}/${SYBASE_ASE}/install

$0 start
;;
*)
echo "*** Usage: sybase {start|stop|status|restart}" exit 1
esac
exit 0
---CUT---8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------8<----------

9. Ensure scripts are executable, and add to the boot services:

chmod 755 sybase125
chmod 755 lmgrd
chkconfig --add sybase125
chkconfig --add lmgrd

10. That's it so far... my dataserver is running for now... but knowning
my luck, I'll probably hit post and find everything suddenly stops
working ! Hope this helps.
