Installing VolServ

Are you installing from CDROM (<y> or n)? y

Is your intended response (<y> or n)? y

------------------------------------------------------------------

Enter remote CDROM device path (e.g. /cdrom/volserv)<>

Ready to install/update the necessary VolServ files

Do you wish to install/update the VolServ files now (<y> or n)? y

Step 4. Either accept the default volserv installation directory or enter a new path.

Tip

For this example, the default is used. Therefore, the directory where the VolServ executables and support files reside is /volserv.

VolServ creates the volserv subdirectory in the

/(root) directory.

Note

When the environmental variables are set in the VS_DIR environment, variables should be set to the full pathname created in this step; for example, /volserv.

------------------------------------------------------------------

When prompted for the installation directory, remember that “/volserv” is appended to your response.

For example, if you choose “/usr/local” then /usr/local/volserv is used as the installation directory.

The directory you specify must already exist, because the installation script will only create the appropriate sub-directories.
