OpenVMS System Management Context
Concepts
OpenVMS is a mature operating system with a long history. Originally developed on the Digital Equipment Corporation’s VAX systems and later ported to the new 64-bit Alpha systems architecture, OpenVMS’s future includes the HP port of the operating system to a third architecture, the Intel Itanium 64-bit systems. This module briefly surveys the characteristics of the three system contexts that a system manager could be responsible for maintaining. The module emphasizes the current primary environment, Alpha systems. For the system manager, the best news is that in moving from one system architecture to another, the day-to-day management differences are small. The system management context for OpenVMS in general offers multiple possibilities and many combinations of those possibilities. This module summarizes those possibilities.
