# tar -xf VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v3.tar_338442
5. Before adding ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled:
# vxdctl mode

6. Install the ASL
# swinstall -s 'pwd' VRTSibmxiv
7. After the packages are installed, 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 -m enable command in addition to vxdctl enable.
8. After executing vxdctl enable, verify the output of the "vxddladm listsupport" and vxddladm listversion commands
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxxiv.sl
