To install your Veritas product, use one of the following methods:
The general product installer. The general product installer enables you to install and configure the product, verify preinstallation requirements, and view the product's description. You perform the installation from a disc, and you are prompted to choose a product to install.
See Installing Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability using the product installer.
Product-specific installation scripts. If you obtained a standalone Veritas product from an electronic download site, the single product download files do not contain the general product installer. Use the product installation script to install the individual products. You can find these scripts at the root of the product media in the scripts directory. These scripts are also installed with the product.
Table: Product installation scripts lists all the SFHA Solutions product installation scripts. The list of product installation scripts that you find on your system depends on the product that you install on your system.
Note: |
The name of the script is different depending on whether you run the script from the install media or from a system on which the product software is installed. |
Table: Product installation scripts
The scripts that are installed on the system include the product version in the script name. For example, to install the SFCFSHA script from the install media, run the installsfcfsha command. However, to run the script from the installed binaries, run the installsfcfsha<version> command.
For example, for the 6.0.1 version:
# /opt/VRTS/install/installsfcfsha601 -configure
Note: |
Do not include the release version if you use the general product installer to install the product. |
At most points during the installation you can type the following characters for different actions:
Use b (back) to return to a previous section of the installation procedure. The back feature of the installation scripts is context-sensitive, so it returns to the beginning of a grouped section of questions.
Use Control+c to stop and exit the program if an installation procedure hangs. After a short delay, the script exits.
Use q to quit the installer.
Use ? to display help information.
Use the Enter button to accept a default response.
