Software Components

SFCFS and SFCFS HA

Storage Foundation (SFCFS) is the name of the VERITAS Cluster File System product and its supporting software packages. Storage Foundation Cluster File System HA (SFCFS HA) contains the SFCFS packages, plus the packages to support the application failover functionality of the VERITAS Cluster Server.

Note   Note    Install all the latest required HP-UX patches before you install SFCFS. You can use the swlist command to determine whether the correct update and patches are installed. The installation procedure terminates if the correct patches are not found.

HP may release patches that supersede the ones in this list. To verify that you have the latest HP-UX patches, go to the VERITAS support website to view the following TechNote:

    http://support.veritas.com/docs/275787

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 HP's Patch Database provides fast, accurate searches for the latest recommended and superseded patches available for VERITAS File System or VERITAS Volume Manager.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/SFCFS HA 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/SFCFS HA 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 4.1 manual pages are installed in the /opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory. The /opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory is automatically added to /etc/MANPATH when the VxFS 4.1 package is installed. Make sure that the /opt/VRTS/man directory or the /opt/VRTS/vxfs4.1/man directory goes before /usr/share/man in you MANPATH environment variable so that the latest version of the VxFS manual pages display.
