InfoScale™ 9.0 Installation Guide - Linux

To install InfoScale using yum

1. Configure a yum repository on a client system.

   • Create a .repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d/. An example of this .repo file for InfoScale is:

     # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/veritas_infoscale90.repo

     [repo-InfoScale90]
     name=Repository for Arctera InfoScale 9.0
     baseurl=file:///<image_dir>/rpms/
     enabled=1
     gpgcheck=1
     gpgkey=file:///<image_dir>/rpms/RPM-GPG-KEY-veritas-infoscale7

     The values for the baseurl attribute can start with http://, ftp://, or file:///. The URL you choose needs to be able to access the repodata directory. It also needs to access all the InfoScale RPMs in the repository that you create or update.

   • Run the following commands to get the yum repository updated:

     # yum repolist

     # yum updateinfo

   • Check the yum group information:

     # yum grouplist | grep 90
        AVAILABILITY90
        ENTERPRISE90
        FOUNDATION90
        STORAGE90
     

     # yum groupinfo AVAILABILITY90

     # yum groupinfo FOUNDATION90

     # yum groupinfo STORAGE90

     # yum groupinfo ENTERPRISE90

   • Check the yum configuration. List InfoScale RPMs.

     # yum list 'VRTS*'
     Available Packages
     VRTSperl.x86_64        5.16.1.4-RHEL5.2           
     VRTSsfcpi.noarch       9.0.0.000-GENERIC       
     VRTSvlic.x86_64        3.02.90.010-0             
     ... 

   The InfoScale RPMs may not be visible immediately if:

   • The repository was visited before the InfoScale RPMs were added, and

   • The local cache of its metadata has not expired.

   To eliminate the local cache of the repositories' metadata and get the latest information from the specified baseurl, run the following commands:

   # yum clean expire-cache
   # yum list 'VRTS*'

   Refer to the Red Hat Enterpirse Linux Deployment Guide for more information on yum repository configuration.

2. Install the RPMs on the target systems.

   • To install all the RPMs

     1.	Specify each RPM name as its yum equivalent. For example: # yum install VRTSvlic VRTSperl ... VRTSsfcpi
     2.	Specify all of the InfoScale RPMs using its RPM glob. For example: # yum install 'VRTS*'
     3.	Specify the group name if a group is configured for InfoScale's RPMs. This name should keep consistency with the one in xml file. In this example, the group name is ENTERPRISE90: # yum install @ENTERPRISE90 Or # yum groupinstall -y ENTERPRISE90

   • To install one RPM at a time

     1.

     Run the installer -allpkgs command to determine RPM installation order. # ./installer -allpkgs InfoScale Foundation: PKGS: VRTSperl VRTSvlic VRTSspt VRTSveki VRTSvxvm VRTSaslapm VRTSvxfs VRTSsfmh VRTSsfcpi InfoScale Availability: PKGS: VRTSperl VRTSvlic VRTSspt VRTSveki VRTSllt VRTSgab VRTSvxfen VRTSamf VRTSvcs VRTScps VRTSvcsag VRTSvcsea VRTSsfmh VRTSvbs VRTSvcswiz VRTSsfcpi InfoScale Storage: PKGS: VRTSperl VRTSvlic VRTSspt VRTSveki VRTSvxvm VRTSaslapm VRTSvxfs VRTSllt VRTSgab VRTSvxfen VRTSamf VRTSvcs VRTScps VRTSvcsag VRTSdbed VRTSglm VRTScavf VRTSgms VRTSodm VRTSsfmh VRTSsfcpi InfoScale Enterprise: PKGS: VRTSperl VRTSvlic VRTSspt VRTSveki VRTSvxvm VRTSaslapm VRTSvxfs VRTSllt VRTSgab VRTSvxfen VRTSamf VRTSvcs VRTScps VRTSvcsag VRTSvcsea VRTSdbed VRTSglm VRTScavf VRTSgms VRTSodm VRTSdbac VRTSsfmh VRTSvbs VRTSvcswiz VRTSsfcpi

     2.

     Use the same order as the output from the installer -allpkgs command: # yum install VRTSperl # yum install VRTSvlic ... # yum install VRTSsfcpi

3. After you install all the RPMs, use the /opt/VRTS/install/installer command to license, configure, and start the product.

   If the VRTSsfcpi RPM is installed before you use yum to install InfoScale, the RPM is not upgraded or uninstalled. If the /opt/VRTS/install/installer script is not created properly, use the /opt/VRTS/install/bin/UXRT9.0/add_install_scripts script after all the other InfoScale RPMs are installed. For example, your output may be similar to the following, depending on the products you install:

   # /opt/VRTS/install/bin/UXRT90/add_install_scripts
   Creating install/uninstall scripts for installed products
   Creating /opt/VRTS/install/installer for UXRT9.0
   Creating /opt/VRTS/install/showversion for UXRT9.0

To uninstall Arctera InfoScale using yum

• You can uninstall Arctera InfoScale using yum. Use one of the following commands depending on the product that you have installed:

  # yum groupremove -y AVAILABILITY90

  # yum groupremove -y FOUNDATION90

  # yum groupremove -y STORAGE90

  # yum groupremove -y ENTERPRISE90
