Installation and Upgrade

For installing and upgrading your system, Veritas provides two options: general checklists or custom reports using data collectors. You can either run an Installation and Upgrade general checklist to get an overview of system requirements, or a detailed Installation and Upgrade custom report.

QUICK SYSTEM CHECKING

Installation and Upgrade general checklists

A general checklist is a quicker alternative to running a custom report. It creates a list of hardware, software, and patch recommendations. A general checklist is useful when:

  • You want to install or upgrade a Veritas enterprise product on a single system.
  • You want a standard list of configuration recommendations.

The Installation and Upgrade general checklists provide recommendations about installing or upgrading the Veritas enterprise product you specify. It lists product installation and upgrade requirements, including memory, disk space, and architecture.

Supported products:

DETAILED SYSTEM CHECKING

Installation and Upgrade custom reports using data collectors

Data collector is a software application that gathers the information about systems in your network, and then generates a customer report accordingly. A custom report contains a list of passed and failed checks and their corresponding details.

You can upload your reports to the SORT website, where you can view, analyze, or share them with others.
