VERITAS File System 3.5 (HP OnlineJFS/JFS 3.5) Installation

Installing From the Support Plus CD-ROM

Step 1. Insert the Support Plus CD into the CD-ROM drive and login as root:

$ su root

Step 2. Determine an appropriate CD-ROM device name on which to mount the CD:

# ioscan -fn -C disk

Note the CD-ROM device name at the bottom of this example:

Step 3. Mount the CD drive to a directory. The following example uses the /cdrom directory.

# mount –r /dev/dsk/clt2d0 /cdrom

Step 4. Use the sd commands to install the BaseVxFS bundle from the CD. Note that because BaseVxFS

also installs a set of kernel patches, you must specify the autoreboot flag. The system will reboot

after installation:

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s /cdrom/ BaseVxFS

NOTE If you install a new license after the BaseVxFS package, you can run the

/sbin/fs/vxfs3.5/vxenablef command to enable the license. Features having a

valid license become available without rebuilding a new HP-UX kernel and rebooting

the system. See the vxenablef (1M) manual page for more information.

Step 5. Verify that the package is installed:

# swlist | grep BaseVxFS
