Installation Instructions:
1. Before adding any ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled:
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled

2.  At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL tar package into /tmp/asl
# mkdir /tmp/asl
# cd /tmp/asl

3. After downloading VRTSLSI_HPUX11.23_5.0_1.0.tar_337420.gz, verify the cksum of the file
# cksum VRTSLSI_HPUX11.23_5.0_1.0.tar_337420.gz
4141197167 98561 VRTSLSI_HPUX11.23_5.0_1.0.tar_337420.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the packages
# gunzip VRTSLSI_HPUX11.23_5.0_1.0.tar_337420.gz
# tar xvf VRTSLSI_HPUX11.23_5.0_1.0.tar_337420

5. Install the ASL using 'swinstall' command
# swinstall -s `pwd` VRTSLSIasl

6. 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

7. 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.sl
