Installation Instructions:
Note: If the previous version of this ASL is installed in your system, please uninstall it before installing this version.

1. Create a directory to store the ASL package:
# mkdir /tmp/asl
# cd /tmp/asl

2. At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the ASL package

3. After downloading VRTSFJTSYe8k_5.0_v3_HPUX.tar_338353.gz, verify checksum of the file as follows:
# cksum VRTSFJTSYe8k_5.0_v3_HPUX.tar_338353.gz
1642514882      61115   VRTSFJTSYe8k_5.0_v3_HPUX.tar_338353.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the package:
# gunzip VRTSFJTSYe8k_5.0_v3_HPUX.tar_338353.gz
# tar xvf VRTSFJTSYe8k_5.0_v3_HPUX.tar_338353

5. Before adding any ASL packages, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled:
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled

6. Attach the disk array and reboot. Then, to enable vxconfigd to claim E8000 as JBOD when ASL is not being used, execute the following commands:
# vxddladm rmjbod vid="FUJITSU"
# vxddladm addjbod vid="FUJITSU" pid="E8000" offset=44 length=4
# vxddladm listjbod

7. ASL Installation:
# swinstall -s `pwd` VRTSFJTSYe8k

Note: The package name and the above installation instruction is common for both 11iv2 and 11iv3.

8. After the package is installed, you must execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the disk array as an ETERNUS DX8000/DX400 or ETERNUS8000/4000 array:
# vxdctl enable

Note: In some cases, it has been reported that the installation of the ASL does not take effect, and the vxdctl enable command does not claim the enclosure and devices. In such cases, you can execute the vxconfigd -k command in addition to vxdctl enable.

9. After running vxdctl enable, run the vxddladm listsupport and vxddladm listversion commands and verify the output as follows:
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxFJTSYe8k.sl
