You can start VxVA from a terminal window.
To run VxVA, your PATH environment variable must contain a path to locate vxva and va_watch. If your path does not include /usr/X/bin, change your environment variable to include it.
You can verify your path by typing:
echo $PATH
If your path is incorrect, you must change it.
Once your PATH is set up correctly, you can start VxVA from a terminal window.
To start the Volume Manager Visual Administrator from a terminal window:
See tfadmin(1M).
Before running VxVA in demo mode for the first time, enter
/usr/X/bin/vxva_setup
It is only necessary to run this shell script once. This script creates dummy disks (for the VxVA demo mode) and a rootdg disk group for you. This script can, however, be used at any time to clean up the existing configuration and return to the default demo.
On small displays (such as those with a graphical resolution of 640 x 480), some forms may be too long to fit entirely on the screen and the buttons on the bottom of the form may not be visible. If this is the case, the window manager "move" function (<Alt>+<F7>, by default) can be used to move the view or form so all fields and buttons are visible.
Another technique that may allow these forms to fit better on a small
screen is to start up VxVA by typing:
vxva -xrm "vxva*propertiesForm*marginHeight: 1"
This resource specification will cause forms to appear shorter than normal.
The system owner or root can use the next command to give
the user the privilege to run VxVA.
/opt/vxvm-va/install/SetVAPrivilege user-id
where user-id is the user's login name.
