BugId: 4149377

Issue 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
