This topic explains how to obtain the version 2.1 SAN File System
software for an AIX client.
If you are installing the client on AIX version 5.1,
the package name is sfs.client.AIX51. If you are installing the client on AIX version
5.2, the package name is sfs.client.AIX52.
You can load either of these
packages on the client from the SAN File System package repository. The package
repository is located on each metadata server engine. Use either ftp or the
SAN File System console to transfer the package from a metadata server engine.
To
transfer the package using ftp:
- On the master metadata server, change directories to the package repository.
cd
/usr/tank/packages
- Set up an ftp session with the client.
ftp client_IP_address
- Log in to the client.
- Set the transfer mode to binary
bin
- Change directories to a temporary directory on the client
cd
/tmp
- Transfer the package to the client. For example, to transfer the SAN File
System client software for AIX 5.2:
mput sfs.client.AIX52
- When prompted to confirm that you want to put the file, type Y.
- Exit ftp

To transfer the package using the SAN File System console:
- Start the SAN File System console from the client.
- Select Download Client Software.
- Follow the prompts to save the package to a temporary directory.
