Checking VxFS installation

The Veritas File System package consists of a kernel component and administrative commands.

Verifying kernel installation

To ensure that the file system driver is loaded, enter:

# modinfo | grep vxfs

The modinfo command displays information about all modules loaded on the system. If the vxfs module is loaded, you will see an entry corresponding to vxfs. If not, follow the instructions in Loading and unloading the file system module to complete the process.

Verifying command installation

The Veritas File System commands are installed in four directories:

Table 2-6 VxFS command locations

Location
Contents

/etc/fs/vxfs

Contains the Veritas mount command and QuickLog commands required to mount file systems.

/usr/lib/fs/vxfs/bin

Contains the VxFS type-specific switch-out commands.

/opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin

Contains the Veritas-specific commands.

/opt/VRTS/bin

Contains symbolic links to all Veritas-specific commands installed in the directories listed above.

Determine whether these subdirectories are present:

# ls /etc/fs/vxfs

# ls /usr/lib/fs/vxfs/bin

# ls /opt/VRTSvxfs/sbin

# ls /opt/VRTS/bin

Make sure you have adjusted your environment variables accordingly.
