You can access Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2, Veritas Volume Manager, and Veritas File System functions through the Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 graphical user interface (GUI). Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2, supports a Java GUI and Web version of the Veritas Enterprise Administrator.
The graphical user interfaces (GUI) enable you to perform storage management duties for DB2, such as monitoring the database.
The GUI runs in a client-server environment. The server is located on a host that runs Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2. The client can run on any UNIX platform, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.
Within the Java GUI, you can perform tasks from the main menu bar or you can right-click an object in the navigational pane on the left side of the screen.
Within the Web GUI, you can perform tasks from the main menu bar or you can select an option in the task lists on the left side of the screen.
