4. Before
adding any ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and
enabled:
#
vxdctl mode
mode:
enabled
5. ASL
Installation
To install the
ASL package
VRTSNTAPasl-4.1-4.0_SLES9.i586.rpm,
type:
#
rpm -ihv VRTSNTAPasl-4.1-4.0_SLES9.i586.rpm
6. APM
Installation
To install the
APM package
VRTSNTAPapm-4.1-1.2_SLES9.x86_64.rpm,
type:
#
rpm -ivh VRTSNTAPapm-4.1-1.2_SLES9.x86_64.rpm
Similar
instructions can be followed to install the other packages as well.
7. After the
packages are installed, you must execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the
disk array as a NetApp array and to load the APM:
#
vxdctl enable
Note: In
some cases, it has been reported that the installation of the ASL and/or APM
does not take effect and vxdctl enable does not claim the enclosure and devices.
In such cases, you can execute the vxconfigd
-k command in addition to vxdctl
enable.
8. After
executing vxdctl enable, verify the output of the vxddladm listsupport
command:
#
vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxnetapp.so
ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE
