2 VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started
◆ 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.
Main Window
