Symantec Enabled Arrays - Array Support Library and Array Policy Module for NetApp Storage Systems (Active/Active, Active/Passive, Active/Passive- Concurrent) on Veritas Volume Manager (tm) 5.0 and 5.0MP1 for Solaris Sparc.
Solution
THIS FILE HAS BEEN UPDATED, please navigate to the following for the updated version of this article: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH77808
This TechFile provides information on the Array Support Library (ASL) and Array Policy Module (APM) for the NetApp Storage Systems (Active/Active, Active/Passive, Active/Passive- Concurrent) on Veritas Volume Manager (tm) 5.0 and 5.0MP1 for Solaris Sparc.
For general information about ASLs, refer to the following article:
ASL Package name: VRTSNTAPasl
ASL Package version: 5.0,REV=10.23.2009.12.07
APM Package name: VRTSNTAPapm
APM Package version: 5.0,REV=10.23.2009.13.21
Supported versions of Veritas Volume Manager: 5.0 and 5.0MP1
Supported Arrays: NetApp Storage Systems (A/A-NETAPP, A/P-NETAPP, A/P-C-NETAPP), and IBM System Storage N3000, N5000 and N7000 Series.
Change Log: ASL and APM packaging scripts are modified to avoid installation of these packages in Solaris local zones.
Note: This array must be appropriately configured for dynamic multipathing (DMP) to be claimed correctly by the ASL. See the array vendor's documentation for more information
Installation Instructions:
1. Create a directory to store the NetApp ASL and APM package
# mkdir /tmp/NetApp
# cd /tmp/NetApp
2. At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL and APM package
3. After downloading VRTSNTAPasl_apm_5.0_SunOS_v1.4.tar_336466.gz in /tmp/NetApp directory, verify the checksum
# cksum VRTSNTAPasl_apm_5.0_SunOS_v1.4.tar_336466.gz
3792447060 41873 VRTSNTAPasl_apm_5.0_SunOS_v1.4.tar_336466.gz
4. Uncompress the file and extract the packages
# gunzip VRTSNTAPasl_apm_5.0_SunOS_v1.4.tar_336466.gz
# tar xvf VRTSNTAPasl_apm_5.0_SunOS_v1.4.tar_336466
5. Before adding any package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled:
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled
6. Install the ASL
# pkgadd -d . VRTSNTAPasl
7. Install the APM
# pkgadd -d . VRTSNTAPapm
8. After the packages are installed, you must run the vxdctl enable command to claim the disk array as a 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.so

10. Verify the ASL version
# vxddladm listversion libname=libvxnetapp.so
libvxnetapp.so has version string: vm-5.0-rev-3. VXVM version: 5.0
11. Also verify that the APM is in Active state in the output of vxdmpadm listapm command
# vxdmpadm listapm dmpnetapp
Filename: dmpnetapp
APM name: dmpnetapp
APM version: 1
