Verifying Array Support Library (ASL)

Make sure that the Array Support Library (ASL) for the array that you add is installed.

To verify Array Support Library (ASL)

  1. If the Array Support Library (ASL) for the array that you add is not installed, obtain and install it on each node before proceeding.

    The ASL for the supported storage device that you add is available from the disk array vendor or Symantec technical support.

  2. Verify that the ASL for the disk array is installed on each of the nodes. Run the following command on each node and examine the output to verify the installation of ASL.

    The following output is a sample:

    # vxddladm listsupport all
    LIBNAME             VID                 PID
    ===========================================================
    libvx3par.so        3PARdata            VV
    libvxCLARiiON.so    DGC                 All
    libvxFJTSYe6k.so    FUJITSU             E6000
    libvxFJTSYe8k.so    FUJITSU             All
    libvxap.so          SUN                 All
    libvxatf.so         VERITAS             ATFNODES
    libvxcompellent.so  COMPELNT            Compellent Vol
    libvxcopan.so       COPANSYS            8814, 8818
    
  3. Scan all disk drives and their attributes, update the VxVM device list, and reconfigure DMP with the new devices. Type:

    # vxdisk scandisks

    See the Veritas Volume Manager documentation for details on how to add and configure disks.
