Downloading the Storage Foundation and High Availability software

One method of obtaining the Storage Foundation and High Availability software is to download it to your local system from the Symantec Web site.

If you download a stand-alone Veritas product, the single product download files do not contain the general product installer. Use the installation script for the specific product to install the product.

See About installation scripts.

To download the software

  1. Verify that you have enough space on your filesystem to store the downloaded software.

    The estimated space that is needed for download is 5 GB.

    If you plan to install the software on the same system, make sure that you also have enough space for the installed software.

    See Disk space requirements.

  2. To see the space available, you can use the df command with the name of the local file system where you intend to download the software.

    # df -k filesystem

    Caution:

    When you select a location to download files, do not select a directory that contains Veritas products from a previous release or maintenance pack. You must download the Veritas 5.0 software and the Veritas 5.1 software into separate directories.

  3. Download the software, specifying the file system with sufficient space for the file.
