Verifying the systems before installation

Last published : Jun 11, 2026
Use any of the following options to verify your systems before installation:
  • Option 1: Run Veritas Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT).
For information on downloading and running SORT:
sort.veritas.com
Note: You can generate a pre-installation checklist to determine the pre-installation requirements: Go to theSORT installation checklist tool. From the drop-down lists, select the information for the Veritas InfoScale product you want to install, and click Generate Checklist.
  • Option 2: Run the installer with the "-precheck" option as follows:
Navigate to the directory that contains the installation program.
Start the preinstallation check:
\# ./installer -precheck sys1 sys2
where sys1, sys2 are the names of the nodes in the cluster.
The program proceeds in a non-interactive mode, examining the systems for licenses, filesets, disk space, and system-to-system communications. The program displays the results of the check and saves them in a log file. The location of the log file is displayed at the end of the precheck process.
