Description:
Required STORIX directories do not get created during the installation of Vault DR Online plugin.

Symptoms:
VaultDR Online for Linux plugin will be installed successfully but the following STORIX directories:
/storix
/opt/storix
will not be created. Thus the backup will fail.

If the user manually executes the "./stinstall -c" under /usr/netvault/util/, the following error messages will be encountered:
root@ubuntu:/ff# ./stinstall -c
./stinstall: 32: function: not found
./stinstall: 40: cleanup_netrc: not found
[: 40: 0: unexpected operator
exit: 40: Illegal number: -c

It has been found that in Ubuntu, the /bin/sh is linked to /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash.
Please perform the following steps to correct this issue:
1. cd to /bin
2. ls -ls sh
root@ubuntu:/bin# ls -la sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2008-11-13 10:38 sh -> dash
3. rm sh
4. ln -s /bin/bash sh
5. ls -ls sh
root@ubuntu:/bin# ls -la sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-11-14 13:55 sh -> /bin/bash
6. Uninstall and re-install the plugin
