◆ Help
The Help menu provides access to online help for VEA.
Toolbar
The toolbar provides quick access for performing some of the program’s most common tasks.
The toolbar handle is the thin bar next to the toolbar. You can use the toolbar handle to separate the
toolbar from the main window or move the toolbar to the bottom, side, or top of the main window.
To reposition the toolbar, press and hold the mouse button over the toolbar handle and drag the
toolbar to its new location.
Note The toolbar handle is not visible when running on UNIX clients.
Status Area
The status area is at the bottom of the main window. When an object fails or experiences an error,
an alert (error) icon appears in the status area. The Alert Monitor window provides details about the
error. You can access the Alert Monitor window by double-clicking on the alert icon in the status
area.
Multiple Selections
You can select more than one object from a list (for example, when you need to add several disks
into a disk group) using the SHIFT and CONTROL keys in conjunction with the left mouse button.
Use the SHIFT key to select a range of objects.
Use the CONTROL key to select individual objects.
Accessing Tasks
Most VEA tasks are performed by selecting objects and/or tasks and then completing the resulting
dialog boxes. With VEA, you can access tasks from the menu bar and from a context-sensitive
popup menu.
