Starting the Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service

The DBED agent and VEA Service must be running before you access the Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 GUI. You may need to start VEA manually.

To manually start Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service

  1. Verify the status of the VEA Service:

    # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl status
    Current state of server : NOT RUNNING

  2. Start the VEA Service:

    # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl start
    Initializing Storage Foundation Provider 5.0 for DB2

    If you are using AIX, press to continue after the output is displayed.

  3. Again verify the status of the VEA Service:

    # /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvcctrl status
    Current state of server : RUNNING

  4. If the DB2 instances or databases do not show up in the GUI after starting or restarting the VEA service, you may need to run the db2ed_update(for DB2 EE) or db2ed_update_all(for DB2 EEE) command. The databases should be displayed after a few seconds.

  5. To use the Web GUI, start the Web Console: 

    /opt/VRTSob/webgui/veaw start
