Setting environment variables

Last published : Jun 11, 2026
Most of the commands which are used in the installation are present in the /sbin or /usr/sbin directory. Add these directories to your PATH environment variable as necessary.
After installation, Veritas InfoScale commands are in /opt/VRTS/bin. Veritas InfoScale manual pages are stored in /opt/VRTS/man.
Specify /opt/VRTS/bin in your PATH after the path to the standard Linux commands.
Some VCS custom scripts reside in /opt/VRTSvcs/bin. If you want to install a high availability product, add /opt/VRTSvcs/bin to the PATH also.
To invoke the VxFS-specific df, fsdb, ncheck, or umount commands, type the full path name: /opt/VRTS/bin/command.
To set your MANPATH environment variable to include /opt/VRTS/man do the following:
  • If you want to use a shell such as sh or bash, enter the following:
    $ MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/VRTS/man; export MANPATH
    -  If you want to use a shell such as ``csh`` or ``tcsh``, enter the following:
    % setenv MANPATH $(MANPATH):/opt/VRTS/man
On a Red Hat system, also include the 1m manual page section in the list defined by your MANSECT environment variable.
  • If you want to use a shell such as sh or bash, enter the following:
    $ MANSECT=$MANSECT:1m; export MANSECT
    -  If you want to use a shell such as ``csh`` or ``tcsh``, enter the following:
    % setenv MANSECT $(MANSECT):1m
If you use the man(1) command to access manual pages, set LC_ALL=C in your shell to ensure that they display correctly.
