Installing VCS packages for a manual installation

VCS has both required and optional packages. Install the required packages first. All packages are installed in the /opt directory.

When selecting the optional packages, note:

• Symantec recommends that you install the packages for VCS manual pages (VRTSvcsmn) and VCS documentation (VRTSvcsdc). Install the documentation package on nodes where you want access to the documentation.
• The I/O fencing package (VCSvxfen) can be used only with shared disks that support SCSI-3 Persistent Reservations (PR) . See the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide for a conceptual description of I/O fencing. You need to test shared storage for SCSI-3 PR and to implement
  I/O fencing.

  See Setting up I/O fencing.

• The VCS configuration wizard (VRTScscw) package includes wizards for the installation and configuration of Veritas products that require VCS configuration.
• To use the Java Console with VCS Simulator, you must install the VRTScssim and VRTScscm packages.

Perform the steps to install VCS packages on each node in the cluster.
