This README provides information about Array Support Library (ASL) for 
IBM XIV Array (Active/Active) on Veritas Volume Manager (tm) 5.0 and 
later for HP-UX 11.31

ASL Package Name: VRTSibmxiv
ASL Package Version: vm-5.0-rev-5
Supported versions of Veritas Volume Manager: 5.0 and later
Supported Arrays: IBM XIV (A/A)

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

1. Create a directory to store NetApp ASL package:

	# mkdir /tmp/XIV_ASL
	# cd /tmp/XIV_ASL

2. Download the ASL tar package in to /tmp/XIV_ASL 

3. After downloading VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v5.tar.gz in /tmp/XIV_ASL/ 
   directory, verify checksum of file

	# cksum VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v5.tar.gz
	2758524820       48466   VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v5.tar.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the ASL package

	# gunzip VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v5.tar.gz
	# tar xvf VRTSibmxiv-5.0-HP_UX_11.31-v5.tar

5. Before adding ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed 
   and enabled:

	# vxdctl mode
	mode: enabled

6. Install the ASL:

	# swinstall -s `pwd` VRTSibmxiv


7. After package is installed, execute the "vxdctl enable" command to claim 
   the disk array as XIV 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" command:

	# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxxiv.sl
