Installation and Upgrade Guide

migration support In OpenVMS Clusters, migration support means that HP has qualified the versions for use
together in configurations that are migrating in a staged fashion to a newer version of OpenVMS
VAX, OpenVMS Alpha, or OpenVMS I64. Problem reports submitted against these configurations
are answered by HP. However, in exceptional cases HP might request moving to a warranted
configuration as part of the solution. Migration support helps customers move to warranted
OpenVMS Cluster pairs.

MOP Maintenance Operations Protocol. A protocol used for operations such as downline loading
and upline dumping.
See also MOP server.
MOP server A computer system using either the LAN Auxiliary Control Process (LANACP) or DECnet
software to downline-load systems using the Maintenance Operations Protocol (MOP). Systems
loaded include OpenVMS systems, print servers, and LAT servers.
See also MOP.
MP Management Processor. A utility on HP Integrity servers that provides both local and remote
access for controlling the system console, reset/power management, and transfer of control
(TOC) capabilities. It also allows you interact with the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and
to monitor tasks and display detailed information about various internal subsystems. MP is
available even when the server main power switch is in the off position. Most entry-class
Integrity servers include the Integrated Lights Out (iLO) Management Processor, which provides
a complete remote console experience with a web-based GUI and the functionality provided
by virtual media (vMedia).
See also BMC, EFI.
nPartition Node partition. A hard partition within a cell-based server that provides both hardware and
software isolation among different instances of the operating system running on a single server.
Cell-based servers can be configured either as a single, large, symmetric multiprocessor or as
several independent systems. An nPartition has exclusive use of the memory, processor, and
I/O resources belonging to the cells that are assigned to that partition, and can execute its own
operating system image.

OE The Operating Environment for OpenVMS for Integrity servers is the model for delivering the
OpenVMS I64 operating system, layered products, and documentation. Each operating
environment bundles a group of products offered together at a single price based on the number
of active processor cores in the system.

OpenVMS
Cluster system
A computer system consisting of two or more Alpha, VAX, or Integrity server computers
running HP OpenVMS Cluster software. Many types of cluster interconnect devices can be
used to create a cluster environment; for example, CI, DSSI, and LAN devices in a local area
network, and Shared Memory CI (SMCI) for OpenVMS Galaxy instances. An OpenVMS Cluster
can consist of a single interconnect or a mixed-interconnect cluster with any combination of
cluster interconnects.
OpenVMS
instance
The OpenVMS operating system running in either a soft or hard partition of a hardware platform.
To share memory in a hard partition, the GALAXY system parameter must be set.
OpenVMS
Management
Station
A powerful Microsoft Windows based management tool for system managers and others who
perform system management tasks on OpenVMS systems. Allows system managers to manage
user accounts, printers, and storage across multiple systems, using an intuitive interface that
eliminates the need to remember complex OpenVMS DCL syntax, command procedures, and
device names. A server component is installed on OpenVMS (automatically if you select all the
default values during the installation); a client component is installed on a PC.
