The VolServ distribution CD contains:

•Information describing the release

•A script file to perform installation

•One or more data files to be installed

The installation process involves verifying the header file and loading and executing the installation script file. The script controls the remainder of the installation process.

Installing VolServ takes approximately 30 minutes.

The following procedure includes the prompts issued by the installation script. The lines and prompts issued by the script are shown in Courier font.

•If <RETURN> is pressed without an entry, the default answer shown in less than (<) or greater than (>) symbols, is used in invoking the installation script.

•Press <RETURN> after keying in each value.

The script performs the following operations:

•Distributes the VolServ command executable files and support files (internal, system parameter, syslog, etc.) into the default system directories.

•Interactively initializes the parameter files consisting of system configuration parameters and system defaults.

The installation script copies software files from the installation CD into the appropriate directories. The script initializes the system configuration and default parameters that are used by the software packages.
