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.
