Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
1. Create a directory to store Winchester ASL package

	# mkdir /tmp/aslapm
	# cd /tmp/aslapm

2. Download the ASL package in /tmp/aslapm

3. After downloading VRTSDELL_MD3K_asl_LSI_apm_SLES10.x86_64.tar.gz, 
   verify the checksum of the file:

	# cksum VRTSDELL_MD3K_asl_LSI_apm_SLES10.x86_64.tar.gz
	2800107283 1712611 VRTSDELL_MD3K_asl_LSI_apm_SLES10.x86_64.tar.gz

4. Uncompress the file and extract the rpm packages:

	# gunzip VRTSDELL_MD3K_asl_LSI_apm_SLES10.x86_64.tar.gz
	# tar -xvf VRTSDELL_MD3K_asl_LSI_apm_SLES10.x86_64.tar
	VRTSDELL_MD3K-2.0-5.0_SLES.i586.rpm
	VRTSLSIapm-5.0-4.0_SLES10.x86_64.rpm

5. Before adding any ASL rpm package, ensure Volume Manager
   is installed and enabled:

	# vxdctl mode
	mode: enabled

6. ASL Installation:

	# rpm -ihv VRTSDELL_MD3K-2.0-5.0_SLES.i586.rpm

7. APM Installation:

	# rpm -ihv VRTSLSIapm-5.0-4.0_SLES10.x86_64.rpm

7. After the packages are installed, execute "vxdctl enable" command to 
   claim the DELL MD3K disk array:

	# vxdctl enable

	Note: In some cases, it has been reported that the installation of 
	ASL does not take effect, and vxdctl enable does not claim 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 as follows:

	# vxddladm listsupport libname=libvxdellmd3k.so
	ATTR_NAME           ATTR_VALUE
	===================================================
	LIBNAME             libvxdellmd3k.so
	VID                 DELL
	PID                 MD3000, MD32xxi, MD32xx
	ARRAY_TYPE          A/P-C, A/PF-LSI
	ARRAY_NAME          MD3000, MD32xxi, MD32xx

9. Check ASL version
	# vxddladm listversion libname=libvxdellmd3k.so
	libvxdellmd3k.so has version string: vm-5.0-rev-2. VXVM version: 5.0

10. If array is configured in A/P-F mode, then verify that APM is
    in Active state:
	# vxdmpadm listapm dmpEngenio
	Filename:               dmpEngenio.ko
	APM name:               dmpEngenio
	APM version:            1
	Feature:                VxVM
	VxVM version:           50
	Array Types Supported:  A/PF-LSI
	Depending Array Types:  A/P
	State:                  Active
