VxVM consists of a server (vxsvc) and a client (vea). You must install and run the VxVM server
on a UNIX machine running VxVM. You can install and run the VxVM client
on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.
Before you can use VxVM, you need to:
Install VxVM on the machine to be administered.
Install the VEA server and client on the machine to
be administered. Run vxinstall to create the rootdg disk group and initialize at least one disk.
If users other than root need to access VEA, set up
security to specify which users can run VEA.
If you plan to run the VEA client from a machine other
than the machine to be administered, install the VEA client on the
machine where the client will run.
Start the VEA server on the machine to be administered.
Start the VEA client.
Refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager Installation
Guide for details on how to install and set up VEA.
