Setting PATH and MANPATH environment variables

The software and online manual pages for the packages comprising SFCFS are installed in several different directories. However, there are symbolic links to all commands in the /opt/VRTS/bin directory, and symbolic links to all manual pages in /opt/VRTS/man. To make all SFCFS commands and manual pages accessible when you do the installation, add /opt/VRTS/bin to your PATH and /opt/VRTS/man to your MANPATH environment variables. Command line examples in this guide assume these environment variables are set.

To prevent conflicts with VxFS manual pages previously installed with JFS/OnLineJFS 3.5, the VxFS 5.0 manual pages are installed in the /opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man directory. The /opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man directory is automatically added to /etc/MANPATH when the VxFS 5.0 package is installed. Make sure that the /opt/VRTS/man directory or the /opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man directory goes before /usr/share/man in you MANPATH environment variable so that the latest version of the VxFS manual pages display.
