Update: 07.28.08
Note: This is only for version 4.x of VEA. 5.x is not currently working, with this method.

w00t!

I finally got around to working on this again. Sorry for those who've been asking for it.

turns out, it's quite simple, lol!

Here's how you can get the VEA GUI working in OSX:

Generally, I hate Java, but this does rock.

- Copy /opt/VRTSob from a UNIX host, put it in /opt on your Mac and replace /opt/VRTSob/jre/bin/java with a symbolic link to /usr/bin/java on your Mac.

- Run: /opt/VRTSob/bin/vea.

That's all there is to it.

Veritas Cluster GUI 4.x in OSX howto

I hacked this together, so I can run the VCS cluster GUI on my Mac, instead of relying on Winbloze. I am almost ready to dump MicroCrap altogether! :-)

I'll be working on the VEA gui, later.

While I prefer command-line, sometimes a GUI is still nice. Especially, in a complex cluster arrangement, such as the one I admin.





Veritas Cluster Manager 4.x in Mac OS X

Configuring the Veritas Cluster Manager to use the Mac OS X using OS X native Java.

1- Copy the Veritas GUI from server (/opt/VRTSvcs/gui) to a location of choice on your Mac.
2- Edit hagui script (this script, below) to reflect the location of VRTSvcs and the path to your JAVA Home
3- Open a terminal and run /path/to/VRTSvcs/hagui

The following is a copy of the modified hagui script (modify to your liking):
