Downloading the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability software

One method of obtaining the Veritas Storage Foundation Cluster File System High Availability software is to download it to your local system from the Symantec Web site.

  1. Open the following link in your browser:

    http://www.symantec.com/index.jsp

  2. In Products and Solutions section, click the Trialware & Downloads link.
  3. On the next page near the bottom of the page, click Business Continuity.
  4. Under Cluster Server, click Download Now.

If you download a standalone Veritas product, the single product download files do not contain the product installer. Use the installation script for the specific product to install the product.

Note:

Trialware is the full product version. The enabled licensing places the product in a demo or a trial state.

See About the Veritas installer.

To download the software

  1. Verify that you have enough space on your filesystem to store the downloaded software.

    The estimated space for download, gunzip, and tar extract is 2 GB for SPARC and 1.5 GB for Opteron.

    If you plan to install the software on the same system, make sure that you also have enough space for the installed software.

    See Disk space requirements.

  2. To see the space available, you can use the df command with the name of the local file system where you intend to download the software.
    # /usr/bin/df -l filesystem

    Caution:

    When you select a location to download files, do not select a directory that contains Veritas products from a previous release or maintenance pack. Make sure that different versions exist in different directories.
  3. Download the software, specifying the file system with sufficient space for the file.
