Setting Up Your System

VEA consists of a server (vxsvc) and a client (vea). You must install and run the VEA server on a UNIX machine running VxVM. You can install and run the VEA client on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.

Before you can use VEA, you need to:

  1. Install VxVM on the machine to be administered.
  2. Install the VEA server and client on the machine to be administered. Run vxinstall to create the rootdg disk group and initialize at least one disk.
  3. If users other than root need to access VEA, set up security to specify which users can run VEA.
  4. If you plan to run the VEA client from a machine other than the machine to be administered, install the VEA client on the machine where the client will run.
  5. Start the VEA server on the machine to be administered.
  6. Start the VEA client.

Refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager Installation Guide for details on how to install and set up VEA.
