Installing the EMC SRDF Agent

You must install the SRDF enterprise agent on each node in the cluster. In global cluster environments, install the agent on each node in each cluster.

  To install the agent

1. Insert the disc into a drive connected to the host.
2. Create a mount point directory, /cdrom, if it does not exist. The directory must have read-write permissions.
3. Determine the block device file for the disc drive:
    # ioscan -fnC disk

   For example, the listing may indicate the block device is /dev/dsk/c1t2d0.

4. Start the Portable File System (PFS).
    # nohup pfs_mountd &
    # nohup pfsd &
5. Mount the disc:
    # /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip /dev/dsk/c#t#d# /cdrom

   The variable /c#t#d# represents the location of the drive.

6. Install the software:
   # swinstall -s /cdrom/depot VRTSvcse
   # swinstall -s /cdrom/depot VRTScsecw
   # swinstall -s /cdrom/depot VRTScsfdw
