HP OpenVMS Management Station
HP OpenVMS Management Station (OMS) is a powerful
Microsoft Windows based management tool for system
managers and others who perform system management
tasks on OpenVMS systems. OMS features an intuitive
user interface that is meaningful to system managers
and their environment by allowing them to manage user
accounts, printers, and storage on their systems. Sys-
tem managers and help desk staff no longer need to
remember complicated DCL syntax or command pro-
cedures to manage their OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity
server systems. OMS is based on the Microsoft Man-
agement Console (MMC). The Microsoft Management
Console provides a common management framework
for various administration programs. OpenVMS Man-
agement Station is implemented as an MMC snap-in
and includes all of the MMC components you need.
OpenVMS Management Station and related documen-
tation is available via the OpenVMS System Manage-
ment web page located at:

Enterprise Capacity and Performance Analyzer
Enterprise Capacity and Performance (ECP) Analyzer
works with the data that is collected by a Data Col-
lector (ECP Data Collector for VAX and Performance
Data Collector (TDC) version 2.0 for Alpha and Integrity
servers). ECP Analyzer provides both graphic (MOTIF-
based) and tabular reports for the data assembled by
the collector including metrics for CPU, disk I/O, mem-
ory, paging, processes, locks, and SCS. The ECP Ana-
lyzer, which runs on Alpha, will process data from:
• ECP Data Collector (VAX)
• TDC2 (Alpha and Integrity servers)
The Performance Analyzer and related documentation
is available on the OpenVMS System Management web
page located at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/ecp/
Performance Data Collector
Performance data for an AlphaServer or Integrity server
system can be gathered by using the Performance Data
Collector (TDC). By default, TDC periodically collects
and stores data in a file that can be retrieved by user
applications.

tation are available at:

Graphical Configuration Manager for OpenVMS
The Graphical Configuration Manager (GCM) for
OpenVMS is a portable client/server application that
provides a visual means of viewing and controlling the
configuration of partitioned AlphaServer systems run-
ning OpenVMS. The GCM client, a Java-based appli-
cation, can run on any operating system that supports
a TCP/IP network and the Java runtime environment—
Software Development Kit (SDK), v1.2.2 or higher, for
the Java Platform. (Currently, the GCM client is not sup-
ported on SDK Version 1.3 or higher.) A GCM server
runs as a detached process on each partitioned Open-
VMS instance on one or more AlphaServer systems.
Class Scheduler for CPU Scheduling
The Class Scheduler is a SYSMAN-based interface for
defining and controlling scheduling classes for Open-
VMS systems that allows you to designate the percent-
age of CPU time that a system’s user may receive by
placing users into scheduling classes.
Batch and Print Queuing System
OpenVMS provides an extensive batch and print capa-
bility that allows the creation of queues and the setup of
spooled devices to process non-interactive workloads in
parallel with timesharing or real-time jobs.
The OpenVMS batch and print operations support two
types of queues: generic queues and execution queues.
A generic queue is an intermediate queue that holds a
job until an appropriate execution queue becomes avail-
able to initiate the job. An execution queue is a queue
through which the job (either print or batch) is actually
processed. Because multiple execution queues can be
associated with a generic queue, OpenVMS enables
load balancing across available systems in an Open-
VMS Cluster system, increasing overall system through-
put.
Print queues, both generic and execution, together with
queue management facilities, provide versatile print ca-
pabilities, including support for various print file formats.
Accounting Utility
For accounting purposes, OpenVMS keeps records of
system resource usage. These statistics include pro-
cessor and memory utilization, I/O counts, print sym-
biont line counts, image activation counts, and process
termination records. The OpenVMS Accounting utility
allows you to generate various reports using this data.
Audit Analysis Utility
For security auditing purposes, OpenVMS selectively
records critical, security-relevant events in the system
security audit log file. These records contain the date
and time the event occurred, the identity of the asso-
ciated user process, and information specific to each
