Install the FSPM Software on Solaris

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.

Many Solaris I/O multipathing options depend on the details of your system requirements and setup. In addition, many differences exist between the different operating system releases and between Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86 systems. Please read the appropriate Solaris multipathing documents to obtain information about how to enable MPxIO in your specific Solaris environment.

Note: For more information on the Solaris I/O multipathing features, refer to the documentation that corresponds to your Oracle Solaris version. The documentation is listed in the following table.

Note: After you activate the Solaris I/O multipathing features, LUNs from Oracle FS Systems and Pillar Axiom systems are automatically recognized as multipath devices. You do not need to configure them as third-party storage devices.

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 servers, use the command
```
pkgadd -d FSPM-sparc-version.pkg
```
  .
- For x86 servers, use the command
```
pkgadd -d FSPM-i386-version.pkg
```
  .
Note: In the commands above,
```
version
```
depends upon the name of the FSPM release version you downloaded.
