Installing the VCS Java Console

You can administer VCS using the VCS Java-based graphical user interface, Java Console. After VCS has been installed, install the Java Console on a Windows NT, Windows 2000 Professional system, Windows XP, or Windows 2003 system, or HP-UX system. The system from which you run the Java Console can be a system in the cluster or a remote workstation; the latter enables each system in the cluster to be administered remotely.

For information about using the Cluster Manager and the Configuration Editor components of the Java Console, see the applicable chapter in the Veritas Cluster Server User's Guide.
