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:
- Install VxVM on the machine to be administered.
- 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.
- If users other than root need to access VEA, set up security to specify which users can run VEA.
- 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.
- Start the VEA server on the machine to be administered.
- Start the VEA client.
Refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager Installation Guide for details on how to install and set up VEA.
