THIS FILE HAS BEEN UPDATED, please refer to the following article for the most recent version:  http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH77669

This TechFile provides information on the Array Support Library (ASL) and Array Policy Module (APM) for NetApp Storage Systems on Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 and later for HP-UX 11i v2.

For general information about ASLs, see TechNote http://support.veritas.com/docs/249446 

ASL Package Name: VRTSNTAPasl
ASL Package Version: 5.0
APM Package Name: VRTSNTAPapm
APM Package Version: 5.0
Supported versions of Veritas Volume Manager: 5.0 and later
Supported Arrays: NetApp Storage Systems (A/A-NETAPP, A/P-C-NETAPP, A/P-NETAPP)


Installation Instructions:
1. Create a directory to store NetApp ASL and APM package:
# mkdir /tmp/NTAP_ASLAPM

2. At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL and APM package

3. After downloading VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.2_304669.tar.Z in /tmp/NTAP_ASLAPM/ directory, uncompress the file and verify the cksum.
# cd /tmp/NTAP_ASLAPM
# zcat VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.2_304669.tar.Z | tar xvf -
# cksum VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.2_304669.tar.Z
367295244 268853 VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.2_304669.tar.Z

5. Before adding ASL/APM package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled:
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled

6. Install the APM first:
# swinstall -s 'pwd'/apm VRTSNTAPapm

7. Install the ASL:
# swinstall -s 'pwd'/asl VRTSNTAPasl

8. After the packages are installed, execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the disk array as NetApp array and to load the new 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 -m enable command in addition to vxdctl enable.

9. After executing vxdctl enable, verify the output of the "vxddladm listsupport" command:
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxnetapp.sl
