2.
Before installing this ASL package, Please remove any external ASL packages that
are installed on this system for SUN 2540, SUN 6540, STK 6540 and Flexline
200/300 series. Please refer to following example to remove VRTSSTK2540
and VRTSSTKasl.
#
pkginfo -l | grep "VRTSST2540|VRTSSTKasl"
Then use
"pkgrm" to remove the above packages.
Installation
Instructions:
Before adding
any ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and
enabled:
#
vxdctl mode
mode:
enabled
1. At the
bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL and
APM tar package into /tmp/asl_apm
#
mkdir /tmp/asl_apm
#
cd /tmp/asl_apm
2. After
downloading VRTSLSI_5.0-5.0_sol_sparc.tar_331451.gz, verify the cksum of
the file
#
cksum VRTSLSI_5.0-5.0_sol_sparc.tar_331451.gz
651586779
27983 VRTSLSI_5.0-5.0_sol_sparc.tar_331451.gz
3. Uncompress
the file and extract the packages
#
gunzip VRTSLSI_5.0-5.0_sol_sparc.tar_331451.gz
#
tar xvf VRTSLSI_5.0-5.0_sol_sparc.tar_331451
4. Install the
ASL and APM using pkgadd command
#
pkgadd -d . VRTSLSIasl
#
pkgadd -d . VRTSLSIapm
5. After the
packages are installed, execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the disk
array(s)
#
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
6. After
executing vxdctl enable
and/or vxconfigd -k, verify the output
of the vxddladm listsupport and
vxddladm listversion commands as
follows:
#
vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxlsiall.so
