Installing the Storage Administrator Client on HP-UX

If you plan to run the Storage Administrator client software from an HP-UX 11i machine

other than the machine to be administered, follow these steps to install the Storage

Administrator client software on the machine where the client will run.

Step 1. Mount the HP-UX 11i Application Release CD:

mount -F cdfs cdrom-device /cdrom

Step 2. Install the VERITAS Volume Manager Storage Administrator Client, fileset

HPvmsa.VMSA-CLIENT-SP, with the following command:

swinstall -s /cdrom HPvmsa.VMSA-CLIENT-SP

Starting the Storage Administrator Server

To use the VERITAS Volume Manager Storage Administrator, the Storage Administrator

server must be running on the HP-UX machine to be administered. Only one instance of the

Storage Administrator server can be running at a time.

The Storage Administrator server can be run either in normal mode or in auto-start mode. In

normal mode, once started, the Storage Administrator server must run continuously and

must not be stopped.

In auto-start mode, the Storage Administrator server starts whenever a VMSA client tries to

connect to the server, if the server is not already running. If no VMSA clients are connected

for a certain amount of time (15 minutes, by default), the server automatically terminates and

restarts at the next client connection.

To run the Storage Administrator server in normal mode, follow the steps below in “Starting

the Storage Administrator Server Manually in Normal Mode”. To run the Storage

Administrator in auto-start mode, follow the steps in “Starting the Storage Administrator

Server in Auto-Start Mode”.

NOTE After vxinstall is run, the Storage Administrator server starts up

automatically at system startup. You only need to start it manually as
