OpenVMS Cluster Software

The HP OpenVMS Cluster Software is a system integrated product that provides a highly integrated computing environment distributed across multiple Alpha or VAX systems. It enables shared processing, mass storage, and security management while allowing individual systems to boot and shut down independently. Key features include coordinated data updates, high availability with automatic failover, cluster-wide batch/print queue management, and robust support for various interconnects (CI, DSSI, SCSI, Fibre Channel, Ethernet, Memory Channel). The document outlines configuration rules, hardware support, and management tools like DECamds, and specifies licensing and warranted migration paths for mixed-architecture environments.
