man pages issue

hi all

i have installed veritas storage foundation 5.1 in my sun blade 150 which running with sun solaris 5.10. Veritas commands manual pages are located in /opt/VRTS/man/man1m directory. But if i give "man vxassist" It says "no manual entry for vxassist". How to resolve this?

Set the MANPATH variable (if you use a posix compatible shell) like:
Code:
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man
export MANPATH

or, if you use csh:
Code:
setenv MANPATH /usr/share/man:/opt/VRTS/man

after that, you should be able to run
Code:
man vxassist

If you want this to be persistent across logins, put the two lines in your .profile or .cshrc file.
