and browse through all of the objects on the system or view detailed
information about a specific object.
■ Remote Administration
Administrators can perform administration remotely or locally. The VEA
client runs on UNIX, Linux, or Windows machines.
■ Java-based Interface
A pure Java-based interface is used. Administrators can run VEA as a Java
application.
■ Scalability
■ VEA can handle systems containing large numbers of disks. Administrators
can view all of the objects on the system, or focus on a specific object or set
of objects.
■ Security
Please refer to the VEA online help for information on communication
between the client and server across a firewall.
■ Multiple VEA Support
The VEA client can provide simultaneous access to multiple host machines.
The administrator can use a single client session to connect to multiple
hosts, view the objects on each host, and perform administrative tasks on
each host. Each host machine must be running the VEA server.
■ Multiple Views of Objects
VEA provides multiple views of objects:
■ The main window tree and grid view lists objects on the system.
Other views are application dependent. For example, when running VxVM:
■ The Disk View window displays a graphical view of volumes, disks, and
other objects in a disk group.
■ The Volume View window displays a graphical view of the volumes on a
host.
■ The Volume to Disk Mapping window shows the relationships between
volumes and their underlying disks.
