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

1. Create a directory to store NetApp ASL package:

	# mkdir /tmp/NTAP_ASL
	# cd /tmp/NTAP_ASL

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

3. After downloading VRTSNTAPasl_HP_1131_5.0.1_v3.tar.gz in /tmp/NTAP_ASL/ 
   directory, verify checksum of file

	# cksum VRTSNTAPasl_HP_1131_5.0.1_v3.tar.gz
	1527215828      504162  VRTSNTAPasl_HP_1131_5.0.1_v3.tar.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the ASL package

	# gunzip VRTSNTAPasl_HP_1131_5.0.1_v3.tar.gz
	# tar xvf VRTSNTAPasl_HP_1131_5.0.1_v3.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` VRTSNTAPasl


7. After package is installed, execute the "vxdctl enable" command to claim 
   the disk array as NetApp 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=libvxnetapp.sl

	ATTR_NAME            ATTR_VALUE
	=======================================================================
	LIBNAME              libvxnetapp.sl
	VID                  NETAPP
	ARRAY_TYPE           A/A-NETAPP, A/P-NETAPP, ALUA


9. Verify the output of "vxddladm listversion" command:

	# vxddladm listversion libname=libvxnetapp.sl
	libvxnetapp.sl has version string: vm-5.0-rev-3. VXVM version: 5.0
