Open a browser and enter the virtual management IP Address of the VTrak A-Class system: 10.0.0.1

Additional information on the IP Addresses can be found in “Specications” on page 13.

Download the VTrakFS Client application for your client using one of the methods on page 34.

Follow this procedure to install the Linux SAN client:

1. Log in as the root (super user)

2. Launch the terminal software and go to the directory where the installation le is located. For example,

“Downloads” might have the software installation package if the le was downloaded directly to the

client.

3. Use the ‘tar’ command to unpack the software.

Example: [root@linux]# tar zxvf VTrakFSClient-Linux-1.0.0.tar.gz

4. Place the installation le into a new directory used for launching the software.

Example: [root@linux Downloads]# cd VTrakFSClient-Linux-5.4.1-31872

5. To run the install script, in the new directory use the command:

# ./install.pl –with-gui install

Example: [root@linux VTrakFSClient-Linux-5.4.1-31872]# ./installer.pl --with-gui install

6. Review the License Agreement. To run the installation script, center ‘y’ for “yes” ; to decline, enter ‘n’

for “no”. The installation script runs if you entered ‘y’.

7. Finally, to launch the VTrakFS client application, use the command: VTrakFSClient

Example: [root@linux]# VTrakClient

After the Linux client is added to the SAN, use the client application to mount the new SAN volume.

See “Using FS Client Software” on page 57 for more details on adding an A-Class SAN server and mounting

a VTrakFS volume on your client workstation.
