About installation scripts

Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions 5.1 provides several installation scripts.

To install a fresh installation on a system, or to upgrade from Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions version prior to 5.1, the recommended installation method is to use the common product installer. To use the common product installer, run the installer command.

See About the common product installer.

An alternative to the installer script is to use a product-specific installation script. If you obtained a Veritas product from an electronic download site, which does not include the common product installer, use the appropriate product installation script.

The following product installation scripts are available:

Veritas Cluster Server (VCS)

installvcs

Veritas Storage Foundation (SF)

installsf

Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System (SFCFS)

installsfcfs

Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System for Oracle RAC (SFCFSRAC)

installsfcfsrac

Symantec Product Authentication Service (AT)

installat

Veritas Volume Manager

installvm

To use the installation script, enter the script name at the prompt. For example, to install Veritas Storage Foundation, type ./installsf at the prompt.
