Setting environment variables

Most of the commands used in the installation are in the /sbin or /usr/sbin directory. Add these directories to your PATH environment variable as necessary.

After installation, Veritas Storage Foundation commands are stored in /opt/VRTS/bin and HA commands are stored in /opt/VRTSvcs/bin. Storage Foundation HA manual pages are stored in /opt/VRTS/man.

Specify /opt/VRTS/bin and /opt/VRTSvcs/bin in your PATH after the path to the standard Linux commands. If you are not installing an HA product, you can omit /opt/VRTSvcs/bin. To invoke the VxFS-specific df, fsdb, ncheck, or umount commands, type the full path name: /opt/VRTS/bin/command.

To set your MANPATH environment variable to include /opt/VRTS/man do the following:

If you are using a shell such as sh or bash, enter the following:
```
$ MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/VRTS/man; export MANPATH
```
If you are using a shell such as csh or tcsh, enter the following:
```
% setenv MANPATH $(MANPATH):/opt/VRTS/man 
```

On a Red Hat system, also include the 1m manual page section in the list defined by your MANSECT environment variable.

If you are using a shell such as sh or bash, enter the following:
```
$ MANSECT=$MANSECT:1m; export MANSECT
```
If you are using a shell such as csh or tcsh, enter the following:
```
% setenv MANSECT $(MANSECT):1m
```
If you use the man(1) command to access manual pages, set LC_ALL=C in your shell to ensure that they display correctly.

If you are not installing an HA product, you can omit /opt/VRTSvcs/bin.
