Package Name: Equallogic Array Support Library
Package Version: 1.0
Supported versions of Veritas Volume Manager: 5.0 and later
Supported Arrays: Equallogic Arrays (Active/Active)

Installation Instructions
1. Create a directory to download the ASL
# 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 VRTSEQLogic-asl-5.0-v1.0.tar_317319.gz, verify checksum of the file
# cksum VRTSEQLogic-asl-5.0-v1.0.tar_317319.gz
637013176       6461    VRTSEQLogic-asl-5.0-v1.0.tar_317319.gz

4. Uncompress the file
# gunzip VRTSEQLogic-asl-5.0-v1.0.tar_317319.gz
# tar xvf VRTSEQLogic-asl-5.0-v1.0.tar_317319

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

6. ASL Installation
To install the ASL package VRTSEQLogic, type
# pkgadd -d . VRTSEQLogic

7. After the ASL is installed, you must execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the disk array as an Equallogic 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 and listversion commands
# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxeqlogic.so
