Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA)

The Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) is the graphical administrative interface for configuring shared storage devices. VEA simplifies administrative tasks, such as mounting and unmounting file systems, creating and removing storage checkpoints, enabling and disabling change log, and many others. For basic information on running the VEA, refer to Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started. For a complete list of administrative tasks and their instructions, see the online help that is available from within the VEA.

The VEA server package, VRTSob, is installed by the installation script on all nodes that are to be administered. The VRTSobgui package contains the VEA client Graphical User Interface (GUI) program, which may also be installed on one or more of these nodes, or on a separate system that can be used to administer both these and other nodes. A version of the VEA client package is also provided that can be installed and run on a Microsoft Windows® system.
