Installation Instructions:
1. Create a directory to download the ASL/APM package
# mkdir /tmp/asl_apm
# cd /tmp/asl_apm
2. At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL/APM package
3. After downloading VRTSIBMSVCaslapm_SunOS_Sparc_VM-5.0.2.0.tar_356955.gz, verify the checksum
# cksum VRTSIBMSVCaslapm_SunOS_Sparc_VM-5.0.2.0.tar_356955.gz
511575112 19045 VRTSIBMSVCaslapm_SunOS_Sparc_VM-5.0.2.0.tar_356955.gz
4. Unzip the file and extract the package
# gunzip VRTSIBMSVCaslapm_SunOS_Sparc_VM-5.0.2.0.tar_356955.gz
# tar -xvf VRTSIBMSVCaslapm_SunOS_Sparc_VM-5.0.2.0.tar_356955
5. Before adding any ASL/APM package, make sure VERITAS Volume Manager is installed and enabled (the vxdctl mode command should return "enabled")
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled
6. ASL Installation
# pkgadd -d . VRTSIBMsvcasl
7. APM Installation
# pkgadd -d . VRTSIBMsvcapm
8. 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 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
9. After executing vxdctl enable, verify the output of the vxddladm listsupport command
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxibmsvc.so
ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE
===================================
LIBNAME libvxibmsvc.so
VID IBM
PID 2145, 2062
ARRAY_TYPE A/A-A-IBMSVC
ARRAY_NAME SAN_VC
10. Verify ASL library version
# vxddladm listversion libname=libvxibmsvc.so
libvxibmsvc.so has version string: vm-5.0-rev-2. VXVM version: 5.0
11. Verify that the APM is in active state in the output of vxdmpadm listapm command
#vxdmpadm listapm dmpsvc
