Understanding the OpenVMS Installation Options
HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition has three supported models for OpenVMS
clients. Two of the models support OpenVMS clusters, and the third model supports
single (Stand Alone) OpenVMS servers.
Table D-1 provides a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of each installation
model. Subsections “Stand-Alone (non-clustered) OpenVMS Server” on page 87, “The
OpenVMS Shared Server Model” on page 87, and “OpenVMS Multi-server Model” on
page 88 provide more details about each option.
NOTE ISEE is supported for OpenVMS Alpha 7.2-2, 7.3, 7.3-1, and 7.3-2.
For a complete list of supported OpenVMS devices, please view the ISEE supported
