How to Set Up the Root User's Environment

Perform these tasks on each node in the cluster.

1. Become superuser on the cluster node.

2. Set the PATH to include /usr/sbin and /usr/cluster/bin.

   For VERITAS Volume Manager, also set your PATH to include /etc/vx/bin. If you installed the VRTSvmsa package, also add /opt/VRTSvmsa/bin to your PATH.

3. Set the MANPATH to include /usr/cluster/man. Also include the volume manager-specific paths.

   • For Solstice DiskSuite software, set your MANPATH to include /usr/share/man.

   • For VERITAS Volume Manager, set your MANPATH to include /opt/VRTSvxvm/man. If you installed the VRTSvmsa package, also add /opt/VRTSvmsa/man to your MANPATH.

4. (Optional) For ease of administration, set the same root password on each node, if you have not already done so.
