Install the FSPM Software

FSPM uses the Oracle Solaris I/O multipathing features to support multiple physical paths to storage. The FSPM daemon works with Oracle Solaris I/O multipathing features to make the LUNs visible to Oracle FS Path Manager without manual configuration.

Prerequisite:

This procedure describes how to install FSPM for the first time where no previous versions of Axiom Path Manager or FSPM were installed. Information on installing an edition of FSPM to replace Axiom Path Manager or upgrade FSPM is provided later in this document.

Before you install FSPM, if necessary activate the Oracle Solaris I/O multipathing features. You can activate the Oracle Solaris mulitpathing features by one of two methods where the first method is the most common method:

Check the status to determine if Oracle Solaris I/O multipathing features are enabled with this command:
```
stmsboot -L
```
If disabled, enable the Oracle Solaris I/O multipathing features with this command:
```
stmsboot -e
```
or

Set the following parameters in the /⁠kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf file:

# mpxio global enable/disable switch: 
# setting mpxio-disable="no" will activate
# I/O multipathing; setting mpxio-disable="yes" 
# disables this feature (do not remove this property).
#
mpxio-disable="no";

To install FSPM, complete the following steps:

Log in as root.
Change to the directory to the location where you downloaded the installation package.
To install the FSPM software, use one of these commands:
- For SPARC server, use the following command:
```
pkgadd -d FSPM-sparc-version.pkg
```
- For x86 servers, use the following command:
```
pkgadd -d FSPM-i386-version.pkg
```
Note: In the commands above, version depends upon the name of the FSPM release version you downloaded.
