About installation and configuration methods

You can use one of the following methods to install and configure SFCFSHA.

Table: Installation and configuration methods

Method

Description

Interactive installation and configuration using the script-based installer

Note:

If you obtained SFCFSHA from an electronic download site, you must use the installsfcfsha script instead of the installer script.

You can use one of the following script-based installers:

  • Common product installer script:

    installer

    The common product installer script provides a menu that simplifies the selection of installation and configuration options.

  • Product-specific installation script:

    installsfcfsha

  • The product-specific installation script provides command-line interface options. Installing and configuring with the installsfcfsha script is identical to specifying SFCFSHA from the installer script.

    Use this method to install or configure only SFCFSHA.

Silent installation using the response file

The response file automates installation and configuration by using system and configuration information stored in a specified file instead of prompting for information. You can use the script-based installers with the response file to install silently on one or more systems.

See About response files.

Web-based installer

The Web-based installer provides an interface to manage the installation and configuration from a remote site using a standard Web browser.

webinstaller

See About the Web-based installer.

JumpStart

You can use the Veritas product installer of the product-specific installation script to generate a JumpStart script file. Use the generated script to install Veritas packages from your JumpStart server.

See Installing using JumpStart.

Manual installation and configuration

Manual installation uses the Solaris commands to install SFCFSHA. To retrieve a list of all packages and patches required for all products in the correct installation order, enter:

# installer -allpkgs

Use the Solaris commands to install SFCFSHA. Then use a manual or an interactive method with installsfcfsha or installer script to configure the SFCFSHA stack.
