Installing SFCFSHA using the pkgadd command

On Solaris 10, the packages must be installed while in the global zone.

To install SFCFSHA 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 Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions installation scripts.

    See Installation script options.

  5. Install the packages listed in step 4.
    #  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 packages in the order to be installed:

    • minpkgs

    • recpkgs

    • allpkgs

  7. Verify that the packages are installed:
    # pkginfo -l
    			packagename

  8. Start the processes.
