Upgrading the SAN File System software on a Linux client

This topic describes how to install the SAN File System on a Linux™ client.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the directory where the client installation package is located.
  2. Install the client package:
    rpm -U sfs.client.linux_RHEL2.2.1-n
    or
    rpm -U sfs.client.linux_SLES82.2.1-n
  3. Make sure that the master metadata server is running.
  4. Configure and start the client. Run the setup command:
    /usr/tank/client/bin/setupstclient -prompt
    You are prompted to enter values for the client configuration, as shown in Table 1.

    In most cases you can accept the defaults.

    Tip: If you have installed SDD on the client, you should use the following device pattern when prompted for storage devices:
    pat=/dev/vpath*[a-z]
