Using the installsfrac Script to Install SFRAC

Review this section to install SFRAC using the installsfrac utility; you can also install SFRAC using the VERITAS product installer as described on .

Verifying Installation Requirements

Navigate to the folder containing the installsfrac script:
# cd /cdrom/storage_foundation_for_oracle_rac
Start installsfrac:
# ./installsfrac
Enter the names of the nodes where you want to install the software:
VERITAS STORAGE FOUNDATION FOR ORACLE RAC 4.1 INSTALLATION
PROGRAM

  Enter the system names separated by spaces on which to install
  SFRAC: slpas06 slpas07 slpas08 slpas09
Review the output as the script checks the operating system and patches on each node and verifies that the local node running the script can communicate with remote nodes:
  Verifying communication with slpas06 .......... ping successful
  Attempting remsh with slpas06 ................ remsh successful
  Attempting rcp with slpas06 .................... rcp successful
  Checking OS version on slpas06 .................. HP-UX B.11.23
  Checking VRTSdbac package ....................... not installed
  Checking for patch PHKL_31500 ....................... installed
  .
  .
  Checking for patch PHCO_32611 ....................... installed
  Checking for patch DiskQuota-Enh .................... installed
  Checking for patch FSLibEnh ......................... installed
  Checking for patch FSCmdsEnh ........................ installed
  Creating log directory on slpas09 ........................ Done
At the conclusion of these checks, the script:
- Creates a log called installsfracdate_time on each system in the directory /var/tmp. See Summary of Configuration for information about this log and other files created during installation.
- Specifies the utilities it uses to communicate with remote systems (typically remsh and rcp).
Review the output as the utility checks whether the VERITAS infrastructure packages, VRTScpi and VRTSvlic, are present on each node.
  Installing VERITAS Infrastructure packages on slpas06:

    Checking VRTScpi package ...................... not installed
    Checking VRTSvlic package ..................... not installed
    Checking file system space ...... required space is available
    Installing VRTScpi 4.1 on slpas06 ...................... Done
    Installing VRTSvlic 3.02.006c on slpas06 ............... Done
    .
- If the VRTSvlic package is not present, the utility installs it on each node after checking for sufficient disk space.
- If the VRTSvlic package is not the current version, the utility prompts you to upgrade the package to the current version. The utility exits if you decline to upgrade the package.
- If the VRTScpi package is not present, the utility installs it on each node.

- The utility determines if any of the packages to install are already installed.
- The utility checks for the required file system space.
- The utility checks for the presence of processes that could conflict with the installation.

installer: Installing Packages

After the installer checks for system and installation requirements, choose to install SFRAC packages simultaneously or consecutively on each node:
SFRAC can be installed on systems consecutively or
simultaneously. Installing on systems consecutively takes more
time but allows for better error handling.
Would you like to install Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC on
all systems simultaneously? [y,n,q,?] (y)
Verify the installation process completes successfully. This step usually takes about 20 minutes on a 2 GB machine with two CPUs:
