Zahid,
Please note that the actual VEA console itself is not a requirement for VOM to manage a Storage Foundation host. The VRTSobgui package does not need to be on the system. The VRTSob package however is the VEA Service, which is a requirement for some of the the Manage and Administer functions of Volume Manager in VOM. This dependency however will eventually be removed in coming releases of VOM.

Check you have the VRTSob (Veritas Enterprise Administrator) and VRTSsfmh (Veritas Storage Foundation Managed Host) packages installed.

These addons are for VOM the 192.168.22.117 server that you are connecting to for managing SF and VCS - you want packages for the client. The VRTSsfmh package should be on the install media for SFHA - see table in SFHA Linux 6.0 Install guide on page 389.
Mike

I have not found this package on installation media. For a reference kindly see below. please advice
SFHA installation guide 6.0 for linux
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/5000/DOC5273/en_US/sfha_install_60_lin.pdf
Page 381
Second one more thing which shows that I dont need this package:
# rpm -qa VRTSsfmh
VRTSsfmh-4.1.119.0-0.i686
05-03-2012 05:40 AM
If you have sfmh already installed, then probably this was installed when you installed SFHA from the install media, so you shouldn't need to reinstall. In previous versions of SFHA (not sure about 6.0), VEA required vxsvc to be running and I think this is the same daemon that communicates with VOM, so probably vxsvcctrl is trying to start vxsvc, so you should look for this in ps listing.
Note
If your still having issues, then I would post this issue under SFHA Management (VOM, SORT)

Hi Zahid,
Check if /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvc binary exsists in your Managed Host and not zero byte in size, if it does exsists then try to manually start the vxsvc using the following command.
# /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvc -r /opt/VRTSob/config/Registry -e
Then capture ps -ef and check that vxsvc is running , if it's not running then you may want to check if it have core dumped ?
NOTE: in Linux by default core dump is not enabled for applications.
If no core file is generated and vxsvc is not started then run ' # ulimit -c unlimited' and try to start vxsvc again using above method to check if it have core dumped.
Regards,
Hafiz

vxsvcctrl is a control script which in turns starts a process named "vxsvc". Can you please check that as part of "ps -ef | grep vxsvc".
Also o/p for just /opt/VRTSob/bin/vxsvc -m will help in this case.

There was a confusion i think...
What I feel that vea was not actually installed. I did it again and now via command line at one node i am able to run vea.
I think that vea should be installed manually on both nodes of cluster which we want to administer via VOM.
Let me do this again ans will share the result.
