Preinstallation

Also, you can get the patches from Hewlett-Packard’s Patch Database offered
under the Maintenance and Support section of the HP Services & Support - IT
Resource Center. HP’s Patch Database provides fast, accurate searches for the
latest recommended and superseded patches available for Veritas File System or
Veritas Volume Manager.

Setting PATH and MANPATH environment variables

The software and online manual pages for the packages comprising SFCFS are
installed in several different directories. However, there are symbolic links to all
commands in the

/opt/VRTS/bin

directory, and symbolic links to all manual

pages in

/opt/VRTS/man

. To make all SFCFS commands and manual pages

accessible when you do the installation, add

/opt/VRTS/bin

to your

PATH

and

/opt/VRTS/man

to your

MANPATH

environment variables. Command line

examples in this guide assume these environment variables are set.
To prevent conflicts with VxFS manual pages previously installed with
JFS/OnLineJFS 3.5, the VxFS 5.0 manual pages are installed in the

/opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man

directory. The

/opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man

directory is automatically added to

/etc/MANPATH

when the VxFS 5.0 package

is installed. Make sure that the

/opt/VRTS/man

directory or the

/opt/VRTS/vxfs5.0/man

directory goes before

/usr/share/man

in you

MANPATH

environment variable so that the latest version of the VxFS manual

pages display.

Secure communication

Establishing a secure communication between nodes is required to install and
configure a cluster. The

ssh

command provides a remote communication and a

greater level of security than the

rsh

command.
