At the bottom of this TechFile, click on Download Now to download the APM and ASL package
After downloading Invista_Sol_apm_asl_286501.tar.Z , uncompress the file:
# mkdir /tmp/Invista
# cd /tmp/Invista
# zcat Invista_Sol_apm_asl_286501.tar.Z  | tar xvf -

After uncompressing, one ASL package directory and one APM package directory are available:
# ls
Inv-APM
Inv-ASL

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

To install the package:
APM Installation
Install the APM first:
# pkdadd -d . Inv-APM

ASL Installation
Install the ASL:
# pkgadd -d . Inv-ASL

After the packages are installed, you must execute the vxdctl enable command to claim the devices by EMC Invista APM-ASL:
# 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.

After executing vxdctl enable, check the output of the vxddladm listsupport command to verify the packages are installed and configured properly:
