The OpenVMS Operating System
Concepts
This module sets the stage for the student to integrate the course material into a framework of broader awareness of what OpenVMS has been, is, and will become. The three machine architectures—VAX, Alpha, and Itanium systems—also trace the development of OpenVMS from VAX VMS to the impending port of OpenVMS to the Itanium platform. Though the OpenVMS operating system has evolved to meet new challenges, stability through change has been a hallmark that makes what you learn about OpenVMS today useful tomorrow. This module briefly introduces important concepts that recur throughout the course: ideas that, indeed, will persist through all of your work with OpenVMS.
Objectives
  • Discuss the background from which today's OpenVMS emerged
  • Discuss briefly what the different architectures imply
  • Explain the role of the concept of virtual memory in the operating system
  • Describe how networking and clustering contribute to the configuration options with OpenVMS
  • Describe some of the main features of OpenVMS
Topics
  • Background of OpenVMS
  • Three hardware architectures
  • Why OpenVMS uses virtual memory
  • OpenVMS Networks and Clusters
  • OpenVMS Features
