To uncompress the filesets:

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Create an installation directory on your system large enough for all the Storage Foundation patches. Refer to the disk space requirements in the system requirements section.

   # mkdir /tmp/install

3. Place the Veritas software disc into a DVD drive connected to your system. If you downloaded the software, navigate to the top level of the download directory and perform the steps without the DVD.
4. Mount the disk by determining the device access name of the DVD drive. The format for the device access name is cdN where N is the device number. After inserting the disk into the DVD drive, enter:

   # mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
   # mount -V cdrfs -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

5. Copy the compressed patch files and the table of contents (.toc) file from the software disc to the temporary directory.

   # cp -r * /tmp/install
   # cp .toc /tmp/install/

   The .toc specifies the order in which the Storage Foundation components must be installed, and is used by the installp command. In general VRTSveki, VRTSvxvm, and VRTSvxfs must be installed first in the specified order.

6. Change to the temporary directory:

   # cd /tmp/install

7. Invoke SMIT from the command line to upgrade the system. First, upgrade the already installed components of Storage Foundation (formerly known as Foundation Suite):

   # cd /tmp/install
   # smitty update_all

8. Once the existing components have been upgraded, add the new components added to the 6.0.1 release with this command:

   # smitty install

9. After successful upgrade, you must reboot the system. Reboot using the command:

   # shutdown -r

10. To take advantage of new features, upgrade the VxVM disk group version (90) to the latest (140).
