Moving the downloaded file to a local directory

Before installing the SnapDrive for UNIX package on your Linux host, you must move the downloaded SnapDrive for UNIX package to the local directory on the Linux host.

Step

  1. Copy the downloaded file to the Linux host.
    You can place it in any directory on the host.
    Example
    You can use commands similar to the following ones to move the file you downloaded from the NetApp Support Site to the host system:
    # mkdir /tmp/linux 
    # cd /tmp/linux 
    # cp /u/linux/netapp.snapdrive.linux_5_2.rpm											
    You must ensure that you include the period (.) at the end of the copy command line.

After you finish

Ensure that all the supported Service Packs are installed on the host before installing SnapDrive for UNIX. For more information about the supported Service Packs, see the Interoperability Matrix.
