lsmsa

lsmsa(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  lsmsa(8)

NAME

       lsmsa - Starts the Storage Administrator (SA) graphical user interface (GUI)

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/lsmsa

DESCRIPTION

       SA  is the graphical user interface for LSM. SA runs on a Tru64 UNIX system on which LSM is initialized and running.  The SA client runs on
       any machine that supports the Java Runtime  Environment.

       Issue the lsmsa command to display the SA main window.  This window serves both as the starting point for all SA GUI-managed tasks and as a
       monitor for LSM file status. When the main window is displayed, a hierarchical view of LSM objects is presented. Clicking on an object dis-
       plays the objects of that type and a table of information about them.

       The SA GUI requires that the SA daemon be running. It is automatically started at boot time. Under normal conditions, the daemon  does  not
       need to be run manually.

       However, if SA does not connect to the server, stop the SA daemon by entering:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa stop

       Restart the daemon, by entering:

       /sbin/init.d/lsmsa start

       Then run /usr/bin/lsmsa as before.

RESTRICTIONS

       To  use	this  utility,	you must be the root user or be a member of the LSMSA administration group in the /etc/group file  (lsmsa_admin by
       default). In addition, you must register the Advanced File System Utilities license.

FILES

       The SA preferences file stored in the user's home directory.
