NOTE

The suggested directory locations are valid but

 

system performance will not be optimal.

 

 

 

SPACE

Additional hard disk space is required to store

 

the required support directories.

 

 

 

The pre-installation script bases directory location recommendations on the following criteria:

To aid disaster recovery, the Database and Journal directories should be located on different file systems.

For optimal performance, the Metadata directory should not be located on the same file system as (in order of priority) the Journal, Database, or Mapping directory.

Note: Do not change the location of support directories manually. Instead, use the installation script to specify the location for support directories. For more information, see Upgrading to StorNext 3.5.1 (SNFS and SNSM) or Upgrading to StorNext 3.5.1 (SNFS Only).

Upgrading to StorNext 3.5.1 (SNFS and SNSM)

Use the StorNext installation script to upgrade to StorNext 3.5.1 on a metadata controller running StorNext Storage Manager and StorNext File System. To launch the script, use the correct StorNext installation CD for your operating system.

1Log on to the MDC as root.

2Mount the StorNext installation CD and change to the CD root directory.

Note: When you mount a CD in a Red Hat 4 or 5 system, CDs are mounted by default with a noexec (non-executable) option which prevents you from proceeding with the installation.

For Red Hat users only, before proceeding you must

remount the CD by typing mount -o remount, exec ...

3List the installation directories on the CD. At the command prompt, type: ls -l

4Identify the correct installation directory for your operating system and hardware platform, and then change to that directory.

For example, for Red Hat Linux 5 running on an x86 64-bit platform, change to the RedHat50AS_26x86_64 directory.
