going trough manual

1. start arbiter
dbsrv11 -x tcpip(PORT=2639) -su sql -n arbiter -xa
auth=abc;DBN=demo -xf /Z/ARB/arbiterstate.txt -ud

everything ok here

2. start server #1 with using demo.db from the
installation
dbsrv11 -n server1 -x tcpip\(PORT=2638\) -xf
/Z/S1/server1state.txt -su sql /Z/S1/demo.db -sn mirrordemo
-xp
"partner=\(ENG=server2;LINKS=tcpip\(PORT=2637;TIME OUT=1\)\);auth=abc;
arbiter=\(ENG=arbiter;LINKS=tcpip\(PORT=2639;TIMEO UT=1\)\);mode=sync"


response:
Error in command near "xp"

what is wrong here?

Hi Alex,

If you're quoting the argument to -xp, you don't need to escape the parentheses. (And if you weren't quoting it, you would also need to escape the semicolon.)
