2 VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started
A pure Java-based interface is used. Administrators can run VEA as a Java
application.
◆ Scalability
◆ VEA can handle systems containing large numbers of disks. Administrators can view
all of the objects on the system, or focus on a specific object or set of objects.
◆ Security
Please refer to the VEA online help for information on communication between the
client and server across a firewall.
◆ Multiple VEA Support
The VEA client can provide simultaneous access to multiple host machines. The
administrator can use a single client session to connect to multiple hosts, view the
objects on each host, and perform administrative tasks on each host. Each host
machine must be running the VEA server.
◆ Multiple Views of Objects
VEA provides multiple views of objects:
◆ The main window tree and grid view lists objects on the system.
Other views are application dependent. For example, when running VxVM:
◆ The Disk View window displays a graphical view of volumes, disks, and other
objects in a disk group.
◆ The Volume View window displays a graphical view of the volumes on a host.
◆ The Volume to Disk Mapping window shows the relationships between volumes
and their underlying disks.
Main Window
The VEA Main Window and Tabular View consists of:
◆ Object Tree and Grid
