The installed VRTSaslapm package version 7.0.1.400 which is part of  infoscale-rhel7.3_x86_64-Patch-7.0.1.200 contains two Array Support libraries which are not included in 7.3

Because in InfoScale 7.3 on RHEL7U3 we expect all ASLs to be ELF 64-bit LSB shared objects, these 2 do not fit because they are ELF 32-bit LSB shared objects and cause the installer to fail.

Upgrade immediately to InfoScale version 7.3.0.100 (infoscale-rhel7.4_x86_64-Patch-7.3.0.100), which includes an updated version of ther VRTSaslapm package, by mentioning the patch path when initiating upgrade procedure by using the installer of InfoScale 7.3 :

# ./installer -patch_path /opt/sw/7.3.0.100

If your system has no or limited access to internet you might need to use additional options : 

#  ./installer -noipc -ignorechecks -patch_path /opt/sw/7.3.0.100

The response file created during this upgrade can be used for scripted upgrade of other clusters or stand-alone systems as well.

During the upgrade from InfoScale 7.1.0.400 to 7.3 on RHEL 7U3 the vxddladm command reports the following issue :

VxVM vxddladm ERROR V-5-1-19046 Failed to load ASL libvxShannonSSD.so: /etc/vx/lib/discovery.d/libvxShannonSSD.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
VxVM vxddladm ERROR V-5-1-19046 Failed to load ASL libvxHuaweiSSD.so: /etc/vx/lib/discovery.d/libvxHuaweiSSD.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

These errors cause an installation failure, and make it impossible to use the created response file for script based upgrades of other clusters or stand-alone systems.
