Upgrading the array support

The Storage Foundation 6.0.1 release includes all array support in a single depot, VRTSaslapm. The array support depot includes the array support previously included in the VRTSvxvm depot. The array support depot also includes support previously packaged as external array support libraries (ASLs) and array policy modules (APMs).

See the 6.0.1 Hardware Compatibility List for information about supported arrays.

See Hardware compatibility list (HCL).

When you upgrade Storage Foundation products with the product installer, the installer automatically upgrades the array support. If you upgrade Storage Foundation products with manual steps, you should remove any external ASLs or APMs that were installed previously on your system. Installing the VRTSvxvm depot exits with an error if external ASLs or APMs are detected.

After you have installed Storage Foundation 6.0.1, Symantec provides support for new disk arrays through updates to the VRTSaslapm depot.

For more information about array support, see the Veritas Storage Foundation Administrator's Guide.
