The product installer is the recommended method to license and install the product. The installer also enables you to configure the product, verify preinstallation requirements, and view the product's description.
At most points during an installation, you can type b ("back
") to return to a previous section of the installation procedure. The back feature of the installation scripts is context-sensitive, so it returns to the beginning of a grouped section of questions. If an installation procedure hangs, use Control-c to stop and exit the program. There is a short delay before the script exits.
The following sample procedure is based on the installation of a Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA cluster with two nodes: "system01" and "system02." If you are installing on standalone systems only, some steps are unnecessary, and these are indicated. Default responses are enclosed by parentheses. Press Return to accept defaults.
Note
If you have obtained a Veritas product from an electronic download site, the single product download files do not contain the installer
installation script, so you must use the product installation script to install the product. For example, if you download Veritas Cluster File System, use the installsfcfs
script instead of the installer
script.

Administrator's Guide for more information.
When installer installs software, some software may be applied rather than committed. It is the responsibility of the system administrator to commit the software, which can be performed later with the -c option of the installp command.
