ASE 15.5 interfaces files

[former_member273622]

Hi Gurus,

We have a enviroment with  ASE primary / standby cfg ,  we need to bring up  a new  network interface file entry in ASE interfaces  without  rebooting  the ASE, I need to know if  this  will work , any particular chage in interface file?

Rebooting the ASE will take around 10-13 minutes , is there anyhting we can speeed up the recovery  process ?( there are aprox 60  user db's and 200 GB   RAM)

Thank you

Isabella

You can certainly add entries to the interfaces file while ASE is running.

After you add the entry to the interfaces file, the next time ASE reboots, it will pick up the new port automatically.

You can use sp_listener to cause ASE to start listening on a new port that just happens to be the same one you added to the interfaces file, shouldn't be any need to reboot ASE now except to test that it picks up the new entry.
