VEA Issues
Note Refer to the VERITAS Storage Foundation Installation Guide for information on how to set
up and start the VEA server and client.
Name Service Switch Configuration File
For VEA to operate successfully, the name service switch configuration file,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, must be present on the system. See the nsswitch.conf(4) manual
page for more information.
Accessing the Task Log
The task log accessed from the Log tree is not supported. At this time, entries are written to the log
file in /var/vx/isis/command.log. [i76683, i97076]
Setting a Comment on an ISP Volume
If you create a new ISP volume by right-clicking on a user template and selecting the New Volume
menu item, a comment that you specify to the Create Volume Dialog is not set on the volume. To
specify a comment for the newly created volume, select the volume, choose Properties from the
pop-up menu, enter a comment in the Comment field and then click OK. [i137098]
Administering a Cache Volume Created on an ISP Volume
It may not be possible to use the VEA GUI to add or remove mirrors to or from a cache volume
(used by space-optimized instant snapshots) that is created on an ISP volume, or to delete a cache
volume. The cache object, but not the cache volume, is visible in the graphical interface.
Workaround: Stop and restart the VEA server. [i137625]
Permitting Remote Access to the X Windows Server
The following X Windows system error may occur when starting VEA:
Xlib: connection to "hostname:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
Workaround: Allow access to the local X server by using the following command:
# xhost + [hostname]
Disk Group Creation Failure with Duplicate Disk ID
VEA fails to create a disk group with a duplicate disk ID, and gives no other options.
