HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 Support
The Advanced Server supports:
• Windows 2000 and Windows XP Professional clients.
• Windows 2000 domain controllers in a Windows 2000 mixed-mode domain, when the
Advanced Server is a backup domain controller or member server; Windows 2000 domain
controllers in a pure (native) Windows 2000 domain, when the Advanced Server is a
member server.
• Windows 2003 domain controllers in a Windows 2003 interim domain, when the Advanced
Server is a backup domain controller or member server; Windows 2003 domain controllers
in a Windows 2003 domain, when the Advanced Server is a member server.
Integrating with Microsoft Environments
The Advanced Server provides numerous Windows NT integration features, such as:
• Remote management from:
– Network clients, using Windows NT server administration tools that are provided for
installation on the clients
– Windows NT Servers, using tools available on the Windows NT Server
• Windows NT security model
• PDC, BDC, or member server participation in domains
• Alias file names, generated automatically to provide compatibility with legacy applications
that only support file names that comply with the more limited MS-DOS name conventions
• Master Browser or Backup Browser participation in domains
• Windows NT-compatible Server Message Block (SMB) file and print protocols
• Connections from a wide variety of Windows clients
Integrating with OpenVMS
PATHWORKS Advanced Server encompasses many features of the OpenVMS operating
system, including OpenVMS Clusters and symmetric multiprocessing. OpenVMS Cluster
configurations provide failover availability and extensive resource capacities by integrating
multiple OpenVMS systems that can be accessed using a single cluster name.
PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes support for a transport-independent PATHWORKS
cluster alias NetBIOS name that allows multiple cluster members to appear as a single server
to the connecting clients. This provides higher availability. The PATHWORKS cluster alias
name has a load-balancing feature that connects clients to the cluster member that is the
least loaded at the time the session is established. PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes
a high-performance, clusterwide distributed data cache that provides scalability in a clustered
environment.
