Chapter 2 Installing StorNext File System

Installing StorNext File System on Linux or Unix

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.

5Run the script. At the command prompt, type:

./install.snfs

The installation script runs (figure 5).
