CHAPTER 2
Installing Adaptive Server
This chapter provides instructions for installing a new Adaptive Server,
Backup Server, and Monitor Server.
Overview
The installation process copies all of the files from the installation media
to the hard drive and then configures a base Adaptive Server. At the end
of the installation, the Adaptive Server and associated software is ready to
be customized for the user’s environment – for example, creating devices,
databases and tables, and loading data.
The basic process for installing Adaptive Server is:
1 Perform pre-installation tasks related to license administration as
described in “Pre-installation tasks for SySAM” on page 14.
Warning! SySAM 2.0 enabled products work for an initial period
without a license. If you do not install a valid license for your
configuration in this grace period, the product ceases to function. For
general information about SySAM 2.0, see the Sybase Software Asset
Management User’s Guide.
2 Perform the pre-installation tasks as described in “Pre-installation
tasks for Adaptive Server” on page 22.
