To access VEA from the Windows Start menu and connect to a server

  1. Launch VEA from Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Storage Foundation > Veritas Enterprise Administrator or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen.

    The Select Profile window appears.

  2. Select a profile and click OK to continue.

    The Veritas Enterprise Administrator window appears.

  3. Click Connect to a Host or Domain to connect.

    The Connect window appears.

  4. Select a Host from the drop-down menu, click Browse to find a Host, or enter the Host name of the computer and click Connect.

    You may also choose to connect using a different user account after selecting a Host. In this case, you are prompted for another user name and password to connect with.

Note:

On the VEA GUI, in the Connect panel, if a period (.) is used instead of "localhost" as the Host Name, then the login credentials are not saved even if the Save Password option is selected while logging on.
