For example, if you connect from a VEA client, displaying French text, to VERITAS Volume
Manager running on a remote Solaris system also displaying French, you will see French text in the
VEA client window. If you now connect the same VEA client (displaying French text) to SAN
Appliance running on a remote Linux system, displaying English text then, if the SAN Appliance is
available in French, the VEA client displays everything in French. If the SAN Appliance is
available only in English, then the SAN Appliance information will be displayed in English on the
VEA client.

Viewing the Event Log
The event log resides on the server, and records event information, such as alerts raised, about the
server. You can display a snapshot of the log information on the client.
After connecting to the host (server), you display the event log of the server by selecting the “Event
Log” node under “Logs” in the tree view. The server can have single or multiple event log files,
depending upon the policy. If the server has more than one event log file, then a drop down box is
displayed from which you select the required log file.
The client gets the latest set of alerts from the log file of the server and displays the event
information in the Details View. Up to 25 alerts can be displayed in a set.
