VERITAS Storage Foundation 4.1 Cluster File System HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite Extracts, December 2005
Installing the Product
16 Installation and Administration Guide
To prevent conflicts with VxFS manual pages previously installed with
JFS/OnLineJFS 3.5, the VxFS 4.1 manual pages are installed in the
/opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory. The /opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory is
automatically added to /etc/MANPATH when the VxFS 4.1 package is installed. Make
sure that the /opt/VRTS/man directory or the /opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory
goes before /usr/share/man in you MANPATH environment variable so that the latest
version of the VxFS manual pages display.
Installing the Product
The CFS product is installed as part of selected HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite bundles.
Installation instructions are included in the HP Serviceguard Storage Management Suite
Version A.01.00 Release Notes.
At most points during an installation, you can type b (“back”) to return to a previous
section of the installation procedure. The back feature of the installation scripts is
context-sensitive, so it returns to the beginning of a grouped section of questions. If an
installation procedure hangs, use Control–c to stop and exit the program. There is a
short delay before the script exits.
The following sample procedure is based on the installation of a VERITAS Storage
Foundation Cluster File System HA cluster with two nodes: “system01” and “system02.”
If you are installing on standalone systems only, some steps are unnecessary, and these are
indicated. Default responses are enclosed by parentheses. Press Return to accept
defaults.
Note If you have obtained a VERITAS product from an electronic download site, the
single product download files do not contain the installer installation script, so
you must use the product installation script to install the product. For example, if
you download VERITAS Cluster File System, use the installcfs script instead of
the installer script.
