VEA Graphical User Interface and SAM
The VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA) provides a Java-based graphical user interface for managing
VxVM. VEA has two parts: a server and a client. The server must run on the system running VxVM. The
client can run on the server machine, or the client software can be installed on a different HP-UX 11i system
to manage VxVM remotely. Note that only HP-UX 11i clients are supported.
SAM, the HP-UX system administration manager, and VEA exist as independent entities. SAM is used to
manage LVM objects and the VEA is used to manage VxVM objects. However, VEA recognizes and labels
LVM volumes and disks, and similarly, SAM recognizes and labels VxVM volumes and disks. To manage
VxVM disks graphically, you must use VEA. For information about VEA, see the VERITAS Volume Manager
3.5 User’s Guide—VEA.
