Mounting the product disc

Performing automated pre-installation check

You must have superuser (root) privileges to load the VCS software.
To mount the product disc
1 Log in as superuser on a system where you want to install VCS.
The system from which you install VCS need not be part of the cluster. The
systems must be in the same subnet.
2 Insert the product disc with the VCS software into a drive that is connected
to the system.
The disc is automatically mounted.

If the disc does not automatically mount, then enter:
# mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
4
Navigate to the location of the RPMs.
Depending on the OS distribution, type the following appropriate command:
RHEL 5
SLES 10
Before you begin the installation of VCS software, you can check the readiness of
the systems where you plan to install VCS. The command to start the
pre-installation check is:
installvcs -precheck system1 system2 ...
You can also use the Veritas Installation Assessment Service utility for a detailed
assessment of your setup.
