Set the PATH and MANPATH Variables
Most of the commands used inthe installationarein the/usr/sbin directory or /sbin
directory. You should add these directories to your PATH environment variable, making
sure that /usr/sbin precedes /sbin in the path.
Similarly, set the path of your MANPATH environment variable to include
/usr/share/man.

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/VRTS/bin:/etc/vx/bin:\
/usr/lib/vxvm/bin
$ export PATH
$ MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/share/man
$ export MANPATH
If you are using a shell such as csh or tcsh, use the following commands:
% setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/VRTS/bin:/etc/vx/bin:\
/usr/lib/vxvm/bin
