Installation Instructions:
1. Create a directory to store NetApp ASL and APM package
# mkdir /tmp/NTAP_ASLAPM
# cd /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_v1.4.tar_338236.gz, verify checksum of the file
# cksum VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.4.tar_338236.gz
326286936 179168 VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.4.tar_338236.gz
4. Uncompress the file and extract the packages
# gunzip VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.4.tar_338236.gz
# tar xvf VRTSNTAP_asl_apm_5.0_hpux_1123pi_v1.4.tar_338236
5. Before adding ASL/APM package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled
6. Install the APM
# 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 command in addition to vxdctl enable.
9. Check the ASL package version as follows:
# swlist -v VRTSNTAPasl | grep VERSION
number VERSION-1.2:
10. Check the APM package version as follows:
# swlist -v VRTSNTAPapm | grep VERSION
number VERSION-1.1:
11. Verify the output of the vxddladm listsupport command as follows:
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxnetapp.sl
