SPD 82.35.01

Note:

The OpenVMS VAX information is included in the HP

OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha Version 7.3-1

and 7.3-2, and VAX Version 7.3 Software Product De-

scription (SPD 25.01.xx).

This SPD describes the HP OpenVMS Operating Sys-

tem software for the AlphaServer and Integrity server

computer families. Except where explicitly noted, the

features described in this SPD apply equally to Al-

phaServer and Integrity server systems. HP OpenVMS

operating system licenses and part numbers for the two

platforms are architecture speciﬁc. Please refer to the

Ordering Information section of this SPD for further de-

tails.

DESCRIPTION

OpenVMS is a general-purpose, multiuser operating

system that runs in both production and development

environments. Starting with OpenVMS Version 8.2, we

now introduce support for OpenVMS Industry Standard

64 (I64) for Integrity servers. OpenVMS Alpha sup-

ports Hewlett-Packard’s AlphaServer series computers.

OpenVMS software supports industry standards, facili-

tating application portability and interoperability. Open-

VMS provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) sup-

port for multiprocessing systems.

The OpenVMS operating system can be tuned to

perform well in a wide variety of environments.

This includes combinations of compute-intensive, I/O-

intensive, client/server, real-time, and other environ-

ments. Actual system performance depends on the type

of computer, available physical memory, and the num-

ber and type of active disk and tape drives.

The OpenVMS operating system has well-integrated

networking, distributed computing, client/server, multi-

processing, and windowing capabilities. It contains ex-

tensive features that promote ease-of-use, improve the

productivity of programmers, and facilitate system man-

agement.

For information on the OpenVMS Version 8.2 new fea-

tures, please refer to the HP OpenVMS Version 8.2 New

Features and Documentation Overview at:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/integrity

/openvms/v82features.html

USER ENVIRONMENT

Users can access the OpenVMS software by using the

English-like DIGITAL Command Language (DCL), the

command language for OpenVMS that is supplied with

the system. DCL commands provide information about

the system and initiate system utilities and user pro-

grams. DCL commands take the form of a command

name followed by parameters and qualiﬁers.

Users can enter DCL commands at a terminal or include

them in command procedures. These command proce-

dures can be run interactively or submitted to a batch

queue for later processing. Information about DCL and

OpenVMS utilities is available on line through the Open-

VMS Help system.

For users who are familiar with the UNIX shell and util-

ities, OpenVMS is providing an Open Source port of

GNU’s GNV; that is a GNU-based, UNIX environment

for OpenVMS. GNV includes an Implementation of the

UNIX shell BASH (Bourne Again Shell) and many UNIX-

shell utilities.
