Downloading the Storage Foundation and High
Availability software
One method of obtaining the Storage Foundation and High Availability software
is to download it to your local system from the Symantec Web site.
If you download a stand-alone Veritas product, the single product download files
do not contain the general product installer. Use the installation script for the
specific product to install the product.
To download the software
1
Verify that you have enough space on your filesystem to store the downloaded
software.
If you plan to install the software on the same system, make sure that you
also have enough space for the installed software.
