Problem
Configuring the Storage Foundation Web (VEAWeb) console on VRTS 5.x products
Solution
VEAWeb is a
web-based graphical user interface that enables you to create, manage, and
administer VERITAS Volume Replicator (VVR) , Volume Manager (VXVM) and
Filesystem (VXFS) configurations using a Web browser.
The current
documentation have made assumption that the package VRTSobweb is installed
by default during installation and the VEAWeb is configured or
configurable.
For this
example, we will configure VEAWeb console to access VVR
configurations.
Check the
installed packages
# cd
./<Products Directory from tarball or DVD
>/volume_replicator
# ls
copyright
patches scripts veritas_enabled docs pkgs tools installvvr
release_notes uninstallvvr
Display all
product packages in correct installation order
#./installvvr
-installpkgs

VRTSmh VRTSaa VRTSspt SYMClma VRTSvxvm VRTSdsa VRTSfspro VRTSvmman VRTSvmdoc
VRTSdcli VRTSalloc VRTSvmpro VRTSvsvc VRTSvdid VRTSddlpr VRTSvrpro
VRTSvcsvrVRTSjre VRTSjre15 VRTSweb VRTSvrw VRTSvrdoc
Note: This
has been repeated for all other products in the 5.x tarball or DVD and the
result was that VRTSobweb package is NOT being installed by default by
running any of the #installxxx binaries.
The actual
VRTSobweb package is located under the storage_foundation_for_sybase/pkgs
directory in the original tarball download or DVD directory.
# cd
./<Products Directory from tarball or
DVD>/storage_foundation_for_sybase/pkgs
# ls -ld
VRTSobweb.tar.gz
-rwxr-xr-x
1 root root 6741524 Feb 22 2007 VRTSobweb.tar.gz
Copy binary
to local host working directory
# cp
VRTSobweb.tar.gz /var/tmp
# cd
/var/tmp
# gunzip
VRTSobweb.tar.gz
# tar xvf
VRTSobweb.tar
Once you
have access to the VRTSobweb package, follow these steps:
1. Install
VRTSobweb package
# pkgadd
-d . VRTSobweb
...
Installing
part 1 of 1.
/etc/init.d/veawd

##
Executing postinstall script.
Installation
of <VRTSobweb> was successful.
2. Stop and
Start and check Veritas Enterprise Administrator (vea) service
#
/etc/init.d/isisd stop
Stopping
Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service (vxsvc)
#
/etc/init.d/isis start
Starting
Veritas Enterprise Administrator Service (vxsvc)
#/opt/VRTSob/bin/vea
& (check if vea java gui is
working)
3. Determine
the port numbers configured for use by VRTSweb.
#
/opt/VRTSweb/bin/webgui listports
8181
http
8443
https
By default,
VRTSweb is configured to use the port number 8181 (for HTTP) and 8443 (for
HTTPS) ,
web console
will use the secure SSL port https
If the ports
are not configured, run the following command on the system where VRTSweb is
installed:
#/opt/VRTS/bin/webgui
addport 8443 https
4. Make sure
that VRTSweb is running by issuing the following command:
#
/opt/VRTSweb/bin/monitorApp VEAWeb
Web
Application "VEAWeb" is OFFLINE
The message
Web Application "VEAWeb" is OFFLINE displays if the VRTSweb is not running.
If the
VRTSweb is offline, bring it online by running:.
#
/etc/init.d/veawd start
Web
Application "VEAWeb" started successfully
5. Start the
Veritas Storage Foundation Management Server Web (VEAWeb) Console
login in to
the web via the internet browser
https://hostname:8443/Home.do
( if hostname fails, use ip address)
this will
open window "Symantec Web Server" with access to
Veritas
Storage Foundation Management Server Web Console
6 .Select
icon to access new VEA window and click "Create
Profile" (users profile to maintain their own preferences)
username:
myusername
password:
mypassword
confirm
password: mypassword
then click
"Create Profile"
7. In the
resulting window, login to VEAWeb interface by entering IP address of your
system in the "Connect to..." field
hostname
and select
"Connect"
8. New
window will prompt to
Create User
Account
username:
root ( since the system requires authentication , you have to user
root/password combo)
password:
rootpassword
select
login
9. In the
resulting new "Welcome to connection manager" window click Ok
10. Success
you will now have access to VEAWeb console and a choice of products, VVR ,
VXVM and VXFS. The URL address will be in the form:
https://hostname:8443/VEAWeb/ViewManager?id=Summary&ost=hostname&ab=Managing&ostContext=systems.domain.comany.com
