VEA Graphical User Interface and SAM
The Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) provides a Java-based graphical user interface
for managing Base-VxVM. VEA has two parts: a server and a client. The server must run on
the system running Base-VxVM. The client can run on the server machine or the client
software can be installed on a different HP-UX 11i version 2 system to manage Base-VxVM
remotely. Note that only HP-UX 11i clients are supported.
SAM, the HP-UX system administration manager, and VEA exist as independent entities.
The VEA client can and should be launched from SAM. SAM is used to manage LVM objects
and the VEA is used to manage VxVM objects. However, VEA recognizes and labels LVM
volumes and disks, and similarly, SAM recognizes and labels VxVM volumes and disks. To
manage VxVM disks graphically, you must use VEA. For information about VEA, see the
Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA 500 Series) Getting Started Guide.
