SFCFS 6.0 for linux - where are the bits?

[jeff4]

I'm trying to do a fresh install of SFCFS 6.0 on RHEL 6, downloaded the file  VRTS_SF_HA_Solutions_6.0.2_RHEL.tar.gz from the "trailware" site and I have a valid license. The downloads page claims that file contains the SFCFS bits, but upon installation it appears that is not the case. There are no CFS rpm's and no rpm in that file contains the cfs commands (eg cfsmntadm, cfsmount, etc.).

Where do I find the complete bits to install SFCFS 6.0 (latest) for RHEL6?

Thanks.

The CFS packages are:

VRTScavf   Veritas Cluster Server Agents for Storage Foundation Cluster File System

VRTSglm    Veritas Group Lock Manager for  Storage Foundation Cluster File System

VRTSgms   Veritas Group Messaging Services for Storage Foundation Cluster File System

In 5.1 VRTScavf contains cfs commands (eg cfsmntadm, cfsmount, etc.) installed into /opt/VRTSvxfs/cfs/bin and a symbolic link to these is created to these in /opt/VRTS/bin, so I assume this is also the case in 6.0

Do you have VRTScavf package installed and if not, is the rpm in your tar ball - it should be.

To install packages use installsfcfs

Actually, it appears that the download for 6.0.2 does not contain sfcfs, however the 6.0.1 download does. Silly me for thinking that it would be best to download the latest version.

For anyone else trying to get this to actually work on RH6.4, you have to install 6.0.1 (ignore the errors about vxfs, fdd, and portal failing), then install the 6.0.3 updates from:

https://sort.symantec.com/patch/detail/6998

again ignoring the errors about vxfs etc. failing, then install the sfcfs update from:

https://sort.symantec.com/patch/detail/7387

then reboot everything.

Hi Jeff,

The reason is that 6.0.2 is not a complete installation package but a patch bundle upon 6.0.1.

So you need to install 6.0.1 or 6.0 first for a fresh installation, then install bundle 6.0.2 to upgrade to 6.0.2.

The issue you mentioned for RH6.4 is a known issue and the solution is the right for current to install 6.0.3 by ignoring errors after installation of 6.0.1.
