Installation Requirements

VERITAS software and operating system installation requirements are described in the following sections.

Note   Note    If you are not running the September 2004 HP-UX 11i version 2.0 release, upgrade HP-UX on your system before you install the new VERITAS software. See Upgrading HP-UX for more information.

Only users with superuser privileges can install, upgrade, or initialize VERITAS Storage Foundation and HP-UX.

Mapping Services and Performance Statistics for Oracle

  • You must install VERITAS Array Integration Layer (VAIL) and VERITAS Mapping Services (VxMS) if you want to use deep mapping services and performance statistics for supported storage arrays.
  • Install the EMC Solutions Enabler (SYMCLI) before you install VAIL. If you install Solutions Enabler after you install VAIL, rescan the EMC Symmetrix arrays so that they can be discovered. For more information, see the VERITAS Storage Foundation for Oracle Administrator's Guide.

Operating System

If patches to the HP-UX operating system are required, the patches should be applied just prior to installing the VERITAS products. Patches may be required to resolve HP-UX kernel, product performance, or other issues.

The system should be in a quiescent state before adding patches.

Note   Note    See System Requirementsfor information on patches required for VERITAS, HP-UX, or Oracle software.
