3. After downloading VRTSFJTSYe8k_asl_5.0_3.0_AIX.tar_338461.gz, verify the checksum
# cksum VRTSFJTSYe8k_asl_5.0_3.0_AIX.tar_338461.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the package
# gunzip VRTSFJTSYe8k_asl_5.0_3.0_AIX.tar_338461.gz
# tar -xvf VRTSFJTSYe8k_asl_5.0_3.0_AIX.tar_338461

5. Before installing the ASL package, make sure VERITAS Volume Manager is installed and enabled
# vxdctl mode
mode: enabled

6. ASL Installation
# installp -acgX -d VRTSFJTSYe8k.bff VRTSFJTSYe8k

7. After the package is installed, run 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 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. After executing vxdctl enable, verify the output of the vxddladm listsupport command
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxFJTSYe8k.so
