Obtain version 2.1 software for a Solaris client

This topic explains how to obtain the version 2.1 SAN File System software for a Solaris client.

Context

The client installation package is called sfs.client.solaris9.build_level. You can load this package on the client from the SAN File System package repository. The package repository is located on each metadata server engine. Use either scp or the SAN File System console to transfer the package from a metadata server engine.
To transfer the package using secured copy:
  1. On the client, change directories to a temporary directory.

    cd /tmp

  2. Copy the software package from the master metadata server.

    scp userID@server_host_name:/usr/tank/packages/clientpackage .

    For example:

    scp root@mstr_mds:/usr/tank/packages/sfs.client.solaris9.build_level

If you are using a graphical interface on Solaris, you can transfer the package using the SAN File System console:
  1. Start the SAN File System console from the client.
  2. Select Download Client Software.
  3. Follow the prompts to save the package to a temporary directory.
