Installation Instructions:
--------------------------

1. Create a directory to store ASL/APM packages

	# mkdir /tmp/asl_apm
	# cd /tmp/asl_apm

2. Download the VRTSIBMSANVCaslapm_vm-5.0_Linux.tar.gz and verify checksum of the file

	# cksum VRTSIBMSANVCaslapm_vm-5.0_Linux.tar.gz
	1774882524      4678491 VRTSIBMSANVCaslapm_vm-5.0_Linux.tar.gz

3. Unzip the file and extract the rpm packages

	# gunzip VRTSIBMSANVCaslapm_vm-5.0_Linux.tar.gz
	# tar xvf VRTSIBMSANVCaslapm_vm-5.0_Linux.tar

	Note:
		There is one ASL package for each distribution
		There is one APM package for every architecture of each distribution

 Following are installation instructions on RHEL4 system 
 (similar instructions can be used on other platforms)

4. Before adding any ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled

	# vxdctl mode
	mode: enabled 

5. ASL Installation

	# rpm -ivh VRTSIBMsvc-5.0-2.0_RHEL4.i686.rpm

6. APM Installation

	# rpm -ivh VRTSibmsvcapm-5.0-1.1_RHEL4.x86_64.rpm

7. After the package is installed, you must 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" command in addition to "vxdctl enable"

8. Verify the output of the "vxddladm listsupport" command

	# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxibmsvc.so

	ATTR_NAME           ATTR_VALUE
	=======================================================
	LIBNAME             libvxibmsvc.so
	VID                 IBM
	PID                 2145, 2062
	ARRAY_TYPE          A/A-A-IBMSVC
	ARRAY_NAME          SAN_VC


9. Verify the ASL library version

	# vxddladm listversion libname=libvxibmsvc.so
	libvxibmsvc.so has version string: vm-5.0-rev-2. VXVM version: 5.0


10. Verify that APM is in Active state

	# vxdmpadm  listapm dmpsvc.ko
	Filename:               dmpsvc.ko
	APM name:               dmpsvc
	APM version:            1
	Feature:                VxVM
	VxVM version:           50
	Array Types Supported:  A/A-A-IBMSVC
	Depending Array Types:  A/A-A
	State:                  Active
