To install Storage Foundation and High Availability products

1. To install on multiple systems, set up the systems so that commands between systems execute without prompting for passwords or confirmations.

   See Configuring secure shell (ssh) or remote shell before installing products.

2. Load and mount the software disc.

   See Mounting a software disc.

3. Move to the top-level directory on the disc.

   # cd /mnt/cdrom

4. From this directory, type the following command to install on the local system. Also use this command to install on remote systems provided that the secure shell (ssh) or remote shell (rsh) utilities are configured:

   # ./installer

5. Enter I to install and press Return.

6. When the list of available products is displayed, select Veritas Storage Foundation High Availability (SF HA), enter the corresponding number, and press Return.

7. At the prompt, specify whether you accept the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA).

   Do you agree with the terms of the End User License Agreement as specified in the EULA.pdf file present on the media? [y,n,q,?] y

8. Select from one of the following install options:

   • Minimal RPMs: installs only the basic functionality for the selected product.

   • Recommended RPMs: installs the full feature set without optional RPMs.

   • All RPMs: installs all available RPMs.

   Each option displays the disk space that is required for installation. Select which option you want to install and press Return.

   For example, you should see output similar to the following:

   Enter the platform system names separated by spaces: host1 host2

   Where platform indicates the operating system.

10. During the initial system check, the installer verifies that communication between systems has been set up.

    If the installer hangs or asks for a login password, stop the installer and set up ssh or rsh. Then run the installer again.

    See Configuring secure shell (ssh) or remote shell before installing products.

11. After the system checks complete, the installer displays a list of the RPMs that will be installed. Press Enter to continue with the installation.

12. You are prompted to choose your licensing method.

    To comply with the terms of Symantec's End User License Agreement, 
    you have 60 days to either:
    
    * Enter a valid license key matching the functionality in use on the
      systems
    * Enable keyless licensing and manage the systems with a 
      Management Server. For more details visit 
      http://go.symantec.com/sfhakeyless. The product is fully functional 
      during these 60 days.

    To install using keyless licensing, select 2. You are prompted for the product modes and the options that you want to install and license.
