Installation and Setup

The Volume Manager Storage Administrator consists of a server (vmsa_server) and a client (vmsa). You must install and run the Storage Administrator server on a UNIX machine running the Volume Manager. You can install and run the Storage Administrator client on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment.




	NOTE: Windows systems are not supported as Storage Administrator clients. On HP-UX 11i Version 1.5, clients must also run on an HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 system.

Before you can use the Storage Administrator, you need to do the following:

Install the VERITAS Volume Manager and the Storage Administrator on the machine to be administered. Refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX Release Notes for installation procedures on HP-UX 11i systems.
NOTE: You do not need to install the VxVM software on the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Operating System; it is included with the operating system.
Run vxinstall to create the rootdg disk group and initialize at least one disk. Refer to the VERITAS Volume Manager 3.1 for HP-UX Release Notes for vxinstall initialization procedures on HP-UX 11i systems.
NOTE: You do not need to run vxinstall on the HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 Operating System; this initialization is done automatically when the operating system is installed.
If users other than root need to access the Storage Administrator, set up security to specify which users can run the Storage Administrator. Refer to “Customizing Security (Optional)” for the procedure.
If you plan to run the Storage Administrator client from a machine other than the machine to be administered, install the Storage Administrator client on the machine where the client will run.
NOTE: This step is not necessary on an HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 system, because all HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 systems include VxVM and vmsa.
Start the Storage Administrator server on the machine to be administered.
Start the Storage Administrator client.
