HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is a layered product.
For OpenVMS Alpha, a separate license is required.
For OpenVMS I64, TCP/IP Services is licensed as part
of the Foundation Operating Environment (FOE); there-
fore, a separate license is not required.
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is HP’s industry-
standard implementation of the TCP/IP and NFS net-
working protocols on the OpenVMS platform. TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS is integrated with the Open-
VMS operating system installation. TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS provides interoperability and resource shar-
ing among systems running OpenVMS, UNIX™, Win-
dows, and other operating systems that support TCP/IP.
TCP/IP provides a comprehensive suite of functions and
applications that support industry-standard protocols for
heterogeneous network communications and resource
sharing. TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS provides a full
TCP/IP protocol suite including IP/multicasting, dynamic
load balancing, rlogin proxy, network file access, remote
terminal access, remote command execution, remote
printing, mail, application development, Post Office Pro-
tocol (POP), SNMP Extensible agent (eSNMP), and Fin-
ger Utility.

tion.
HP DECnet-Plus and HP DECnet Software
HP DECnet for OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server
software is a System Integrated Product (SIP). DEC-
net for OpenVMS Alpha is licensed separately from the
OpenVMS operating system. DECnet for OpenVMS I64
is a component of the Enterprise Operating Environment
(EOE) on Integrity servers license bundle.
HP DECnet-Plus (formerly DECnet/OSI) for OpenVMS
Alpha is licensed separately from the OpenVMS oper-
ating system as well. DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64 is
a component of the Enterprise Operating Environment
(EOE) on Integrity servers license bundle. The license
for DECnet for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64 also
grants the rights to use DECnet-Plus. Note that only
one version of DECnet can be active on a single sys-
tem at any one time. Both DECnet and DECnet-Plus
allow OpenVMS systems to participate in network task-
to-task communications for the purposes of transfer and
copy of files, printing, the running of applications, etc.
DECnet-Plus offers task-to-task communications, file
management, downline system and task loading, net-
work command terminals, and network resource shar-
ing capabilities as defined in the DIGITAL Network Ar-
chitecture (DNA) Phase V protocols. DECnet-Plus pro-
vides the newest DECnet features such as extended
addressing and downline-load performance enhance-
ments. DECnet-Plus integrates DECnet and OSI pro-
tocols and now provides a linkage to TCP/IP using
Request for Comments (RFC) 1006 and RFC 1859.
DECnet and OSI applications can now be run over DEC-
net (NSP), OSI (CLNS), and TCP/IP transports.
DECnet for OpenVMS Alpha offers the networking ca-
pabilities as defined in the DIGITAL Network Architec-
ture (DNA) Phase IV. For more information, refer to the
Associated Products section of this SPD.
Refer to the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Software Prod-
uct Description (SPD 50.45.xx), or the DECnet for Open-
VMS Software Product Description (SPD 48.48.xx) for
further information.
HP DECram for OpenVMS
HP DECram for OpenVMS is a disk device driver that
improves I/O performance by allowing an OpenVMS
system manager to create pseudo disks (RAMdisks)
that reside in main memory. Frequently accessed data
can be accessed much faster from a DECram device
than from a physical disk device. These RAMdisks can
be accessed through the file system just as physical
disks are accessed, requiring no change to application
or system software.
Because main memory is allocated for the DECram
device, extra memory is generally required. The
OpenVMS system manager can designate the amount
of memory dedicated to the DECram devices and the
files that will be stored on it.
Starting with HP OpenVMS Version 8.2, the binary kit
for HP DECram ships with the HP OpenVMS Alpha and
Integrity servers distribution kits. To run the DECram
software, customers must first purchase a separate li-
cense.
For HP OpenVMS Alpha customers, the software li-
censes is: QL-MV3A*-**.
For HP OpenVMS for Integrity server customers, a soft-
ware license for HP DECram may be purchased either
as part of the OpenVMS Enterprise Operating Envi-
ronment (EOE) or as a separate per-processor license
(PPL): BA407AC
