This section describes how to configure Storage Foundation with the common product installer.
To configure Storage Foundation
To configure Storage Foundation, enter the following command:
# ./installer -configure
When the list of available products is displayed, select Veritas Storage Foundation (SF), enter the corresponding number, and press Return.
Select a product to configure:
Enter the names of the systems on which you want to configure the software.
Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to configure SF: host1
The procedure checks system licensing, and you can enter additional licenses, if needed.
Checking system licensing SF license registered on host1 Do you want to enter another license key for host1? [y,n,q] (n) n
The enclosure-based naming scheme (rather than disk device naming) is a feature of Veritas Volume Manager. You can reference disks using a symbolic name that is more meaningful than the operating system's normal device access name.
See the Veritas Volume Manager Administrator's Guide.
Do you want to set up the enclosure-based naming scheme? [y,n,q,?] (n) n
You have the option of specifying the default name of a disk group. If you specify a name, it is used for Veritas Volume Manager commands when a disk group is not specified.
Enter n if you do not want to specify the name of the default disk group at this time. You can set the name of the default disk group after installation.
See Setting the default disk group.
If you specify the name of a default disk group, this step does not create the disk group. After installation, you can use the vxdiskadm command to create the disk group.
Do you want to set up a default disk group for each system? [y,n,q,?] (y) y
If you responded y, then enter the information for the default disk group name.
Will you specify one disk group name for all eligible systems? [y,n,q,?] (y) y Specify a default disk group name for all systems. [?] dg001
You are prompted to confirm the default disk group.
