CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT
DECnet for OpenVMS is fully supported when installed
on any valid and licensed VMScluster configuration with-
out restrictions. The SYSTEMS SUPPORTED section
of the HP OpenVMS for Integrity Servers and HP Open-
VMS Alpha Operating Sy stems Software Product De-
scription (SPD 82.35.xx) details any special hardware
required or not supported by this product.
OpenVMScluster software provides a distributed com-
puting environment across a highly integrated set of I64
and Alpha systems that operate as a single environ-
ment. OpenVMScluster members can share many re-
sources such as disk and tape storage, CPU resources,
and system management operations. Within this highly
integrated environment, systems retain their indepen-
dence because they use local, memory-resident copies
of the OpenVMS operating system. Thus, members can
boot and fail independently while benefiting from com-
mon resources.
OpenVMScluster configurations are fully described in
the OpenVMScluster Software Product Description
(29.78.xx).
