views displayed by the VEA Client into new windows. You can then view details of
several different object types at the same time, and to correlate relationships between
them.

◆ Help
The Help menu provides access to online help for VEA.
Toolbar
The toolbar provides quick access for performing some of the program’s most common
tasks.
The toolbar handle is the thin bar next to the toolbar. You can use the toolbar handle to
separate the toolbar from the main window or move the toolbar to the bottom, side, or top
of the main window. To reposition the toolbar, press and hold the mouse button over the
toolbar handle and drag the toolbar to its new location.
Note The toolbar handle is not visible when running on UNIX clients.
Status Area
The status area is at the bottom of the main window. When an object fails or experiences
an error, an alert (error) icon appears in the status area. The Alert Monitor window
provides details about the error. You can access the Alert Monitor window by
double-clicking on the alert icon in the status area.
Multiple Selections
You can select more than one object from a list (for example, when you need to add several
disks into a disk group) using the SHIFT and CONTROL keys in conjunction with the left
mouse button.
Use the SHIFT key to select a range of objects.
Use the CONTROL key to select individual objects.
