Veritas Enterprise Administrator

Veritas Storage Foundation must be installed and run on a UNIX (Solaris) machine. The Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) client can be installed and run on any Solaris, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.

Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) is required to access the graphical user interface (GUI) for Veritas Storage Foundation. You can use the GUI to administer disks, volumes, file systems, and database functionality on local or remote machines.

One of the following needs to be installed and running on the client:

• VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VRTSobgui, VRTSat, VRTSpbx, and VRTSicsco)

  These are the client packages for Solaris and are located in the product_name/pkgs directory.

• VERITAS Enterprise Administrator for Windows (windows\VRTSobgui.msi)

  This is the client package for Windows.

See the Veritas Storage Foundation Release Notes for patch information before you install VEA.

Checking minimum requirements

The following are minimum system recommendations for the GUI:

For the VEA client to function properly with the Java Runtime Environment 1.5 (JRE 1.5), install the latest patches for JRE 1.5. To obtain patch information, see the Sun Microsystems Web site.
