VERITAS Volume Manager 3.5 Installation Guide (August 2002)

Chapter 1, Before You Start

Installation and Upgrade Requirements

Installing VRTSob, VRTSvmpro, and VRTSfspro

To use VEA, the following packages need to be installed and running on the server:

◆ VERITAS Enterprise Administrator Service (VRTSob)

◆ VERITAS Volume Manager Service Provider (VRTSvmpro)

◆ VERITAS File System Service Provider (VRTSfspro)

Note All these packages are dependent on one another, and all must be present on the

server for VEA to run. Furthermore, VRTSob must already be installed before you

can install VRTSvmpro. Once installed, you cannot remove VRTSob before

removing (deinstalling) VRTSvmpro.

These packages are installed by default when installing from the HP pre-AR0902 CD.

VEA Requirements

For a machine to be administered by VEA, the following software must be installed and

running:

◆ VEA server (must run under HP-UX 11i). See “Installing the VEA Server and Client

on HP-UX” on page 28 on how to install the server.

◆ VxVM Release 3.5. The vxconfigd and vxsvc daemons must be running on the

machine to be administered.
