The top portion of the VEA has the menu bar which includes the File, Action, Tools, and Help options. Below that is the toolbar. The toolbar displays some options that you may need to use very frequently. Of these, the Connect, Disconnect and New Window options are always available on the toolbar and can be used to connect to the required hosts.

However, the additional options on the toolbar are sensitive to the object that you have selected. When you select Replication Network or any object under this node, the Setup Replicated Data Set and Monitor View tool buttons appear on the toolbar. The monitor view is a constant menu option that is available for all Volume Replicator objects.
