CD-ROMs.
6.1 Availability Manager
OpenVMS Version 7.3 contains Availability Manager Version 1.4. Soon after
the release of OpenVMS Version 7.3, Availability Manager Version 2.0 will be
announced on the following Availability Manager web site:
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/availman/
Version 2.0 will include the following new features:
• A new internal infrastructure supports new operating system features more
easily and quickly.
• To support NUMA or OpenVMS ‘‘RADs’’ and to provide preliminary support
for Wildfire/Galaxy, the following features have been implemented:
A new Memory view of OpenVMS Alpha V7.3 nodes displays RAD-related
data.
When monitoring OpenVMS Alpha V7.3 nodes, Availability Manager
displays a new single-process memory tab called ‘‘RAD Counters.’’
The CPU modes display includes the RAD for a CPU.
The CPU process list shows the home RAD for each process.
The Node summary display now includes the number of configured RADs,
the system serial number, and the Galaxy ID of a node, if any.
• Displays now include additional switched LAN and NISCA data, when
available.
• New user-defined event notifications have been implemented.
• A built-in browser now displays online help.
• A built-in Java runtime environment is now included. (In other words, you no
longer need to install Java on the system.)
• ODS-5 file system support has been added.
• A new PGFLQUOTA process-level ‘‘fix’’ has been implemented.
• A simpler mechanism for site-specific configuration setup now exists.
