26 VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started
For example, if you connect from a VEA client, displaying French text, to VERITAS
Volume Manager running on a remote Solaris system also displaying French, you will see
French text in the VEA client window. If you now connect the same VEA client
(displaying French text) to SAN Appliance running on a remote Linux system, displaying
English text then, if the SAN Appliance is available in French, the VEA client displays
everything in French. If the SAN Appliance is available only in English, then the SAN
Appliance information will be displayed in English on the VEA client.
Using the Control Panel
Use the control panel to view and modify application settings. After connecting to a host,
the control panel node can be found directly under the host node in the tree or as a child of
the host node in the detailed view. Selecting the control panel will bring up the control
panel view in the right hand pane.

Viewing the Event Log
The event log resides on the server, and records event information, such as alerts raised,
about the server. You can display a snapshot of the log information on the client.
After connecting to the host (server), you display the event log of the server by selecting
the “Event Log” node under “Logs” in the tree view. The server can have single or
multiple event log files, depending upon the policy. If the server has more than one event
log file, then a drop down box is displayed from which you select the required log file.
The client gets the latest set of alerts from the log file of the server and displays the event
information in the Details View. Up to 25 alerts can be displayed in a set.
