VRTS/bin directory. Add this directory to the end of your PATH environment variable to access
the commands.
If you add an entry for the file system to the /etc/fstab file, the file system is mounted
automatically.

Setting Environment Variables
This section discusses the path that you must set for the PATH environment variable to access
relevant files and directories.
While you are installing the Veritas 5.1 SP1 products, you will need to run many commands from
the command line. Most of the commands used in the installation are available in the /sbin or
in /usr/sbin directory. You can add these directories to your PATH environment variable so
that you can access the commands in those directories from the command line. If you install the
Veritas man pages, you must set the path of your MANPATH environment variable to include the
relevant directories.

environment variables discussed in “Setting Environment Variables” (page 45):
