Installing RAID Manager on UNIX systems

Follow the steps specific for your UNIX system to install RM.

Note: Before performing the installation (upgrade), shut down all active
RM instances that are running on the primary host and any secondary hosts
it is communicating with.

1. Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

2. Identify the CD-ROM device file to be substituted in the mount

commands below (for example, /dev/dsk/c1t1d0).

3. Log in as root.

su root

4. Create a CD-ROM mount directory and make it accessible to all users.

mkdir –p /cdrom
chmod 777 /cdrom

5. Mount the CD-ROM.

HP-UX

For HP-UX, use the mount command with the –f option:

mount –f cdfs –o ro /dev/dsk/c1t1d0 /cdrom

Sun Solaris

For Sun Solaris, use the mount command with the –f option:

mount –f hsfs –o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0

In most cases, Sun Solaris automatically mounts the CD-ROM. If not,
use this mount command:

mount –f hsfs –o ro /vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/cdrom0 /cdrom/cdrom0

IBM AIX

For IBM AIX, use the mount command with the –rv option:

mount –rv cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom

6. Choose a file system for the RM software. You need about 5 MB of disk

space. The standard and recommended file system to load the software
to is /opt.
