This README provides information about Array Support Library for HP MSA and HP P2000 Series Arrays on Veritas Volume Manager 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0MPx for HPUX 11iv3 (11.31) For general information about ASLs, refer to TechNote 249446 ASL Package Name: VRTSHP-MSA2000 ASL Package Version: 2.0 ASL Package Description : Array Support Library for HP MSA and HP P2000 Series Arrays Supported Versions of VxVM: 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.0 MPx Supported Arrays: MSA2312fc, MSA2324fc, MSA2012sa MSA2312sa, MSA2324sa, MSA2312i, MSA2324i P2000G3_FC, P2000G3_FCiSCSI, P2000G3_SAS Supported Mode: ALUA for Veritas Volume Manager 5.0.1 and A/A-A -HP for the Veritas Volume Manager 5.0 and 5.0 MPx Installation Instructions: ========================== 1. Create a directory to download the ASL package # mkdir /tmp/asl # cd /tmp/asl 2. After downloading VRTSHP-MSA2000_asl_HPUX1131_VM-5.0-2.0.tar.gz, verify the checksum of the file # cksum VRTSHP-MSA2000_asl_HPUX1131_VM-5.0-2.0.tar.gz 552688111 57955 VRTSHP-MSA2000_asl_HPUX1131_VM-5.0-2.0.tar.gz 3. Uncompress the file and extract the ASL package # gunzip VRTSHP-MSA2000_asl_HPUX1131_VM-5.0-2.0.tar.gz # tar -xvf VRTSHP-MSA2000_asl_HPUX1131_VM-5.0-2.0.tar 4 Before adding the ASL package, ensure Veritas Volume Manager is installed and enabled # vxdctl mode mode: enabled 5. Install the ASL package # swinstall -s `pwd` VRTSHP-MSA2000 6. After the packages are 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 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`. 7. After executing the vxdctl enable, verify the output of the `vxddladm listsupport` command # vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxmsa2kfc_sa.sl ATTR_NAME ATTR_VALUE =========================================== LIBNAME libvxmsa2kfc_sa.sl VID HP PID MSA2312fc, MSA2324fc, MSA2012sa MSA2312sa, MSA2324sa, MSA2312i MSA2324i, P2000G3_FC, P2000G3_FCiSCSI P2000G3_SAS ARRAY_TYPE ALUA 8.
