Installation
Instructions:
1. Create a
directory to download the ASL package
#
mkdir /tmp/asl
#
cd /tmp/asl
2. At the
bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL
package
3. After
downloading VRTSHPMSA_Solaris_i386_VM-5.0-2.0.tar_357211.gz, verify the
checksum of the file
#
cksum VRTSHPMSA_Solaris_i386_VM-5.0-2.0.tar_357211.gz
1309000919
8624 VRTSHPMSA_Solaris_i386_VM-5.0-2.0.tar_357211.gz
4. Uncompress
the file and extract the ASL package
#
gunzip VRTSHPMSA_Solaris_i386_VM-5.0-2.0.tar_357211.gz
#
tar xvf VRTSHPMSA_Solaris_i386_VM-5.0-2.0.tar_357211
5. Before
adding the ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and
enabled
#
vxdctl mode
mode:
enabled
6. Install the
ASL package
#
pkgadd -d . VRTSHPMSA
7. After the
package is installed, you must execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the
disk array
#
vxdctl enable
Note: In
some cases, it has been reported that the installation of the ASL 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 the vxdctl enable, verify the
output of the vxddladm listsupport and
vxddladm listversion command
#
vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxmsa2kfc_sa.so

Please ignore
that message. It won't affect any of ASL functionality.
9. Check ASL

#
vxddladm listversion libname=libvxmsa2kfc_sa.so
libvxmsa2kfc_sa.so
has version string: vm-5.0-rev-2. VXVM version: 5.0
