Installing VxFS using the pkgadd command

 To install VxFS

1. The VxFS packages are compressed using GNU compression, so you will need to uncompress them using the gunzip command. First, copy the packages from the directory containing the packages to a location to which you can write and then uncompress and untar the packages. If the current directory is your selected location, create a directory pkgs, which will be the target path, and enter the commands:

   # cp -R /cdrom/cdrom0/file_system/pkgs/* pkgs

2. Uncompress the packages using the gunzip command, and place the uncompressed packages in the pkgs directory that you created:

   # /cdrom/cdrom0/gnu/gunzip pkgs/*.gz

3. Change to the pkgs directory that now contains the VxFS packages:

   # cd pkgs

   Use tar to extract the packages. You should extract each package individually using a command such as:

   # tar xvf VRTSvxfs.tar

   Repeat the command for each package.

4. Install the packages:

# pkgadd -d . VRTSvlic VRTSob VRTSobgui VRTSvxfs VRTStep \

VRTSap VRTSfspro VRTSfsman VRTSfsdoc VRTSfssdk VRTSfsmnd

5. If you are installing VxFS on a file system with disk layout Version 3 or prior, continue by upgrading the disc layouts.

   If you performed a fresh installation, verify your installation.
