On Solaris 10, the packages must be installed while in the global zone.
This procedure describes how to install the software on a stand-alone host. The system can be converted later to a Storage Foundation Manager managed host.
For information about obtaining and installing the SF Manager, refer to the Veritas Storage Foundation Manager Installation Guide.
To install Storage Foundation using the pkgadd command
Copy the supplied VRTS* files from the installation media to a temporary location. Modify them if needed.
# cp /cdrom/cdrom0/scripts/VRTS* \ /tmp/pkgs
The -a adminfile option should be specified to pkgadd. This adminfile must be created in the current directory, and contain the following entries:
mail= instance=overwrite partial=nocheck runlevel=quit idepend=quit rdepend=nocheck space=quit setuid=nocheck conflict=nocheck action=nocheck basedir=default
Use the product installation script to determine the list of packages and patches, and the order in which they should be installed.
For example, to install all of the packages for Storage Foundation, use the following command:
./installsf -allpkgs
Install the packages listed in step 4.
# pkgadd -a adminfile -d /tmp/pkgs pkgname.pkg
On Solaris 10, these packages must be installed while in the global zone. If a package's pkginfo file contains the variable SUNW_PKG_ALLZONES set not equal to true, the -G option should additionally be specified to the pkgadd command.
For example, install Storage Foundation 5.1 packages in the following order one at a time:
For Veritas products that do not have the high availability components:
VRTSvlic.pkg VRTSperl.pkg VRTSvxvm.pkg VRTSaslapm.pkg VRTSvxfs.pkg VRTSspt.pkg VRTSob.pkg VRTSsfmh.pkg VRTSdbed.pkg VRTSodm.pkg VRTSfssdk.pkg VRTSat.pkg
For Veritas products that have high availability components:
VRTSvlic.pkg VRTSperl.pkg VRTSvxvm.pkg VRTSaslapm.pkg VRTSvxfs.pkg VRTSllt.pkg VRTSgab.pkg VRTSvxfen.pkg VRTSvcs.pkg VRTSvcsag.pkg VRTSat.pkg VRTSspt.pkg VRTSob.pkg VRTSsfmh.pkg VRTScutil.pkg VRTSvcsea.pkg VRTSdbed.pkg VRTSodm.pkg VRTSfssdk.pkg VRTScps.pkg
Verify that each of the packages is installed:
# pkginfo -l packagename
# /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl start
Use the product installer to configure the Veritas product and start the processes.
