Installing and Upgrading ENVOX

Configuration Software on DEC VAX and DEC AXP Systems (Revision B — May 1998)

2.2 Product Compatibility

ENVOX P4.0, Control Desktop P2.0, and CDOS P2.0 are compatible.

Earlier versions of these products are not compatible with later versions.

For instance, when you upgrade ENVOX software to version P4.0, and

you wish to use Control Desktop, you must also upgrade Control Desktop

and CDOS to P2.0.

2.3 Hardware Requirements

ENVOX software will run on a MicroVAX, VAX, VAXstation, DEC AXP

workstation or a DEC AXP server, as listed in Table 2-1.

1. The number of users is the maximum licensed number of concurrent ENVOX software users.

The practical maximum number of ENVOX users depends on the CPU, memory, available

disk space, and the memory requirements of other applications running on the system. The

number of VMS users can be larger or smaller, but the smaller of the two licenses (ENVOX

software or VMS) is the effective maximum number of ENVOX software users.

2. Limited to one user due to CPU performance.

You can also use the installation procedure in this installation manual as a

guide for systems other than the MicroVAX 3100, the VAXstation 4000,

and the AlphaStation 200 series. In most cases, the only items in the

procedure that are different are the names of the system disk drive (the

drive where the ENVOX software is loaded), the name of the second disk

(the disk where the SYBASE software is loaded), the name and type of

tape drive (the software-load device) and the SYSGEN parameters.
