Veritas Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 Cluster File System Installation Guide (5900-1510, April 2011)

If you download a standalone Veritas product, the single product download files

do not contain the product installer. Use the installation script for the specific

product to install the product.

See “About installation scripts” on page 369.

To download the software

Verify that you have enough space on your filesystem to store the downloaded

software.

The estimated space for download, gunzip, and tar extract is 4 GB.

If you plan to install the software on the same system, make sure that you

also have enough space for the installed software.

See “Disk space requirements” on page 49.

To see the space available, you can use the df command with the name of the

local file system where you intend to download the software.

# df -b filesystem

Caution: When you select a location to download files, do not select a directory

that contains Veritas products from a previous release or maintenance pack.

Make sure that different versions exist in different directories.

Download the software, specifying the file system with sufficient space for

the file.

Setting environment variables

Most of the commands used in the installation are in the /sbin or /usr/sbin

directory. Add these directories to your PATH environment variable as necessary.

After installation, SFCFS commands are in /opt/VRTS/bin. SFCFS manual pages

are stored in /opt/VRTS/man.

Some VCS custom scripts reside in /opt/VRTSvcs/bin. If you are installing a high

availability product, add /opt/VRTSvcs/bin to the PATH also.

Add the following directories to your PATH and MANPATH environment variable:

■ If you are using Bourne or Korn shell (sh or ksh), enter the following:

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/opt/VRTS/bin

$ MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH

$ export PATH MANPATH
