3.5Design Sheet Notes
The design sheet is a spreadsheet program work sheet that is used to simplify the process of installing the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems.
It is important to save the current environment after first installing the system and also after each post installation system modification, addition, or maintenance operation. Creating a design sheet makes installation and maintenance of the system easy.
3.6VERITAS Volume Manager (VxVM) Notes
•Install VERITAS Array Support Library (ASL) after installing VxVM.
•Installing VxVM
VxVM should be installed as specified in its accompanying documentation.
•When using VxVM 5.0
If the ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems are connected to a configuration that uses the VxVM, the VERITAS Array Support Library (ASL) will also need to be installed.
Which version of VERITAS ASL is required will depend on the storage system and version of VxVM used. Download the VERITAS ASL version that matches your environment from the following Symantec
Refer to the Symantec

•When using VxVM 5.1
ASL does not need to be installed.
•If a path degrades when VERITAS Volume Manager is used, some volumes may not be suc- cessfully recognized after path restoration regardless of the Linux version or VxVM version that is installed.
In this case, volume recognition is required after restoring the LUN using the utility provided by each Fibre Channel card vendor. Refer to "Appendix A Restoration Procedure for when a Path Degrades in a VERITAS Volume Manager Environment" (page 35) for more details.
