You use the VERITAS Volume Manager to administer disks, volumes, and file systems on local or remote machines.

VERITAS Volume Manager is a Java-based interface that consists of a server and a client. The server runs on a UNIX machine that is running VxVM. The client runs on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.

VERITAS Volume Manager provides the following features:

  • Accessibility - Using the Mouse and Keyboard

    Accelerators and mnemonics are provided as alternatives to using the mouse (refer to the VEA online help for more information).

  • Ease of Use

    The task-based user interface provides access to tasks through menus or a task list. Administrators can easily navigate and configure their systems, and browse through all of the objects on the system or view detailed information about a specific object.

  • Remote Administration

    Administrators can perform VxVM administration remotely or locally. The VEA client runs on UNIX or Windows machines.

  • Java-based Interface

    A pure Java-based interface is used. Administrators can run VERITAS Volume Manager as a Java application.

  • Scalability

    VERITAS Volume Manager can handle systems containing large numbers of disks. Administrators can view all of the objects on the system, or focus on a specific object or set of objects.

  • Security

    VERITAS Volume Manager does not support communication between the client and server across a firewall.

  • Multiple VEA Support

    The VERITAS Volume Manager client can provide simultaneous access to multiple host machines. The administrator can use a single client session to connect to multiple hosts, view the objects on each host, and perform administrative tasks on each host. Each host machine must be running the VERITAS Volume Manager server.

  • Multiple Views of Objects

    VERITAS Volume Manager provides multiple views of objects:

    • The main window tree and grid view lists objects on the system.

    • The Disk View window displays a graphical view of volumes, disks, and other objects in a disk group.

    • The Volume View window displays a graphical view of the volumes on a host.

    • The Volume to Disk Mapping window shows the relationships between volumes and their underlying disks.
