Installing VEA

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)

In addition, one of the following packages needs to be installed and running on the client:

VERITAS Enterprise Administrator (VRTSobgui)—the client package for HP-UX.
VERITAS Enterprise Administrator for Windows® (win32/VRTSobgui.msi)—the client package for Windows.
NOTE: This release of VEA requires Volume Manager Release 3.5. Before you run VEA, you must install Volume Manager and run the vxinstall program to initialize Volume Manager.

The following are minimum system recommendations for the VEA client:

Installing the VEA Client on Windows

The VEA client runs on Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98, and Windows 95 machines. If you plan to run VEA from a Windows machine, install the optional Windows package after you have installed the VEA server on an HP-UX machine.

Before you install VEA on a Windows machine, you must uninstall any existing VERITAS Volume Manager Storage Administrator (VMSA) packages and remove the old setup.exe from that machine. Only one VEA package can be installed on a Windows machine at any given time.




	NOTE: If you plan to install the VEA client on Windows NT 4.0, Windows Installer must be upgraded to version 2.0. For more information about upgrading Windows Installer, visit http://www.microsoft.com. If you are using Windows NT 4.0, it is also recommended that you use Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6.

Install the VEA client on a Windows machine as follows:

Log in as administrator.
Insert the CD-ROM containing VEA.
Using Windows Explorer or a DOS Command window, go to the pkgs > win32 directory and execute the vrtsobgui.msi program with Windows installer.
Follow the instructions presented by the vrtsobgui.msi program.
After installation is complete, ensure environment changes made during installation take effect by performing one of the following procedures:
- For Windows NT or Windows 2000, log out and then log back in.
