Setting user accounts
User account information includes details about user ids., domains, and passwords. You
can remove a user account, or set it to be the default account to be used for all connections.
Security settings allow you to validate authentication brokers.
Viewing objects and object properties
Objects in the system are displayed in the Main Window and Tabular View shown in
“Main window” on page 10 . The tree is a hierarchical display of object groups. The
Tabular View displays a table of objects and a limited set of properties.
In the VEA client, objects typically represent entities in the product domain.
For example, in the case of Veritas Volume Manager, the object might be a disk.
You can use the views to browse objects and guide the operation of the client console.
There are four main views:
■ Navigation View, at the left, which uses the tree structure
■ Detailed View, at the right, which used table structure
■ Console View, at the bottom
■ Tasks View, at the bottom
The following functions are provided for simplifying viewing objects in the tree and
Tabular View:
■ To expand or collapse the hierarchy under a particular object group node in the tree:
Click on the plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) icon next to that node.
■ To display the objects in an object group listed in the object tree:
Click on the object group. All objects that belong to the selected object group appear
in Tabular View.
