This topic provides the general steps for installing the SAN File
System on an AIX® client.
These steps must be performed on each AIX client in the SAN File System.
Prerequisites
You must be running AIX at the following operating levels:
- AIX 5.1
(32-bit only) uniprocessor or multiprocessor with maintenance level 3. The
bos.mp (multiprocessor) or bos.up (uniprocessor) packages must be at least
5.1.0.58 or higher. AIX 5.1 32-bit high availability cluster multi-processing
(HACMP™)
environments are supported at the specified maintenance level.
- AIX 5.2
(32-bit and 64-bit) with bos.mp 5.2.0.18.
- AIX 5.3
(32-bit and 64-bit) with bos.mp 5.3.0.0.
Steps
- Obtain the SAN File System client software. See Obtain version 2.2 software for an AIX client.
- Prepare the AIX client for upgrading by stopping all applications on
the client. Refer to the documentation that comes with the application for
information about stopping it.
- Install the client software. See Installing the SAN File System software on an AIX client.
- Validate the installation of the client software. See Validating the installation of SAN File System on an AIX client.
Postrequisites
After you have completed the installation of the AIX client, you
need to set your PATH environment variable to include the following paths:
- /usr/tank/client/bin
- /usr/tank/migration/bin
