BugId: 4149377
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The Sun Enterprise Volume Manager (SEVM) vxinstall script may fail
to detect a StorEdge A5000(s) attached to a system and prompts for
a license number to be entered. This should not be the case since
an automatic license should be generated for StorEdge A5000(s).
This problem is not reproducible at will although, it has been
experienced at several customer sites and in engineering test labs.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
In order to avoid the above stated problem with the SEVM vxinstall
script and StorEdge A5000 detection, the following workaround has
been provided:
1. Run the following commands BEFORE running vxinstall.
# vxconfigd -d
# vxdctl license init
