VEA provides the following features:

• Ease of Use

  The task-based user interface provides access to tasks through Volume Replicator menus. Administrators can easily navigate, configure, and administer Volume Replicator, browse through the objects on the system or view detailed information about a specific object.

• Remote Administration

  Administrators can perform Volume Replicator administration remotely or locally. VEA offers wizards to guide you through complex configuration operations, such as Creating a Replicated Data Set, and so on.

• Navigation

  The tree-like organization of Volume Replicator objects facilitates easy navigation. Context-based menus provide easy access to operations.

• Mechanism for Notifying Users

  Users can configure rules using the Rule Manager to receive SNMP notifications or Email notifications of any alerts or events that are related to Volume Replicator.

• Multiple views of objects

  The VEA presents a tree view that organizes the Volume Replicator objects under a node called Replication Network. For each selected Volume Replicator object in the tree view there is an object view that displays detailed information about it.

• Monitoring Replication

  The monitor view enables you to monitor the replication activity in the replicated data set to which it belongs.

• Displaying Alerts

  The lower pane of the VEA displays alerts when the Console tab is selected. This view provides a detailed listing of alerts for the Volume Replicator operations that are performed.
