Starting VEA

The VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA) is the graphical administrative interface for configuring shared storage devices used for CFS. The VEA GUI server package, VRTSob, is installed by the installer script on all nodes. To use VEA, the client package, VRTSobgui, must also be installed. The VEA client can be a node in the cluster or a remote system. If installed on a remote system, VEA can be used to configure storage for multiple clusters. See the VERITAS Volume Manager Installation Guide for more information on installing and starting the VERITAS Enterprise Administrator.

The information on VEA presented in the following procedure is sufficient to create a shared disk group, a shared concatenated volume, and a cluster file system. For detailed information about using VEA, see the VERITAS Volume Manager User s Guide – VERITAS Enterprise Administrator.

1. Choose a node or remote system and install the VEA client package (see Verifying the Configuration Files for information on the CD mounting procedure):
      # swinstall –s /dvdrom/depot VRTSobgui
2. To start the VEA GUI, enter:
      # /opt/VRTS/bin/vea &

   The VEA application will open and you can begin creating disk groups.
