HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 for Alpha and Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.11

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.

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 for

Integrity servers is a component of the Foundation Op-

erating Environment (FOE) 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 for In-

tegrity servers is a component of the Foundation Operat-

ing Environment (FOE) on Integrity servers license bun-

dle. The license for DECnet for OpenVMS Alpha and

OpenVMS for Integrity servers also grants the rights to

use DECnet-Plus. Note that only one version of DECnet

can be active on a single system 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 Environ-

ment (EOE) or as a separate per-processor core license

(PCL): BA407AC

For more information, refer to the HP DECram for Open-

VMS Software Product Description (SPD 34.26.xx).

HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS

HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS is a System In-

tegrated Product (SIP). It is a separately licensed lay-

ered product offered on the Alpha platform. On the In-

tegrity Server platform, the DECwindows product is part

of the Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) and is

licensed under this package.

This product provides support for both OSF/Motif, a

standards-based graphical user interface, and the X

user interface (XUI) in a single, run-time and devel-

opment environment. DECwindows Motif displays the

OSF/Motif user interface. Because both Motif and XUI
