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.
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.
Add the following directories to your PATH and MANPATH environment variable:
  • If you want to use Bourne or Korn shell (sh or ksh), enter the following:
    $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/VRTS/bin
    $ MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH
    $ export PATH MANPATH
    -  If you want to use a C shell (``csh`` or ``tcsh``), enter the following:
    % set path = ( $path /usr/sbin /sbin/ /usr/bin/ /opt/VRTS/bin )
    % setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man:$MANPATH
The nroff versions of the online manual pages are not readable using the man command if the bos.txt.tfs fileset is not installed. However, the VRTSvxvm and VRTSvxfs filesets install ASCII versions in the /opt/VRTS/man/cat* and /opt/VRTS/man/man* directories that are readable without the bos.txt.tfs fileset.
