Adding NetApp Ruby SDK to ASM Virtual Appliance
NetApp Manageability SDK files are available to download directly from NetApp. You need a NetApp 
NOW account to download the SDK. These files are DfmErrno.rb, NaElement.rb, NaErrno.rb, and 
NaServer.rb
The NaServer.patch file is available on the ASM appliance at location /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/
netapp/files/NaServer.patch You will need the above files to proceed further. Contact your administrator 
for any additional patch files, or updates.
1. Log in to the ASM Appliance.
2. Download and copy the NetApp SDK Ruby lib files to the ASM Appliance /tmp/*.
3. Copy these Ruby libs files from /tmp to /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/netapp/lib/puppet/util/
network_device/netapp
# sudo cp /tmp/*.rb /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/netapp/lib/puppet/util/network_device/
netapp
4. Copy any patch file(s) to the ASM Appliance /tmp directory, currently there is NaServer.patch
