Hi,

Thanks to a Christian Wessely, John Lanier, and Martin Rønde Andersen for
their valuable advice.

There are basically two suggestions to approach this problem. First, was to
use a utility /usr/sbin/asedit to directly modify your asecdb while ASE is
stopped. Second, was to disconnect the primary network interfaces before
bringing up ASE, and then to modify the asecdb via the asemgr utility.

The only problem I ran into asedit was the lack of any documentation for
this tool. As far as I could tell, there doesn't appear to be a man page
packaged with the original ASE install except for an entry in the TCR admin
guide
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/cluster_doc/cluster_16/V16_PDF/TCR_ADM.pdf
instructing the use of asedit to disable cluster services from starting when
ASE loads. Other than that, I couldn't find any other instructions on how
this could be used to directly modify the asecdb.

I instead used the second suggestion of disabling the primary network
interfaces before applying changes to ASE database. I ran into a few issues
starting ASE but this is likely caused by configuration mistakes than ASE
itself. I'm fairly confident that this procedure should solve all my
troubles once I reconfigure ASE correctly. ;-)

Thanks to all who responded.

Regards,
Bobby
