Installing SFHA using the pkgadd command

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 SFHA using the pkgadd command

  1. Mount the software disc.

    See Mounting the product disc.

  2. Copy the supplied VRTS* files from the installation media to a temporary location. Modify them if needed.

    # cp /cdrom/cdrom0/pkgs/VRTS* \
    /tmp/pkgs

  3. Create the admin file in the current directory. Specify the -a adminfile option when you use the pkgadd command:

        mail=
    instance=overwrite
    partial=nocheck
     runlevel=quit
    idepend=quit
    rdepend=nocheck
    space=quit
    setuid=nocheck
    conflict=nocheck
    action=nocheck
    basedir=default

  4. Use the product-specific install command with one of the following options to get a list of packages in the order to be installed:

    • minpkgs

    • recpkgs

    • allpkgs

    See About installation scripts.

    See Installation script options.

  5. Install the packages listed in step [[UNRESOLVED XREF: uxrt-51sp1_v42836957]].

    #  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.

  6. Use the product-specific install command with one of the following options to get a list of patches in the order to be installed:

    • minpkgs

    • recpkgs

    • allpkgs

  7. Install the patches for Storage Foundation 5.1 SP1 with the patchadd command.

    # patchadd patch-ID

  8. Verify that the packages are installed:

    # pkginfo -l
			packagename

  9. If needed, start the VEA server:

    # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl start

  10. Start the processes.

    See Starting and stopping processes for the Veritas products .
