Installing an Array Support Library (ASL)

12 VERITAS Volume Manager Hardware Notes

Adding an ASL package

Only one version of an ASL can be active in the system. If you find a version of the ASL is

already installed, you need to refer to Upgrading an ASL Package.

Note Disk arrays that are supported by an ASL do not have to be connected to the system

when the ASL package is installed.

To find out if package (

ASL_name) is already installed; enter:

# pkginfo -l

ASL_name

You will find the ASL packages on the Storage foundation CDROM CD1 in the

mount_point

/storage_foundation/veritas_enabled directory. They have the

format,

packagename

.gz.tar.

To add an ASL package from CD-ROM, proceed as follows:

1. Change directory to the ASL packages directory;

# cd /mount_point/storage_foundation/veritas_enabled

2. Copy the required package to a temporary directory:

# cp

packagename

.tar.gz /tmp

3. Change directory to the temporary directory:

# cd /tmp

4. Unzip and extract the package:

# gzcat

packagename

.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

5. Use pkgadd to install the package:

# pkgadd -d .

ASL_Name

If vxconfigd is active, invoke Device Discovery Layer (DDL) to allow the newly installed

ASL libraries to claim the disk arrays:

# vxdctl enable

If vxconfigd is not active, then invoke DDL the next time vxconfigd is activated.
