Software Prerequisites
The OpenVMS Internet Product Suite Version 1.0 CD
requires:
• OpenVMS Version 6.1 or later
• DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-3 or later
• TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Version 3.3 or later
Third-party products (the Netscape Commerce and
Communications Servers, and Purveyor WebServer for
OpenVMS), as well as the VTX Web Interface, are sep-
arately licensed. Netscape Navigator and Spyglass En-
hanced Mosaic do not require separate licenses and are
included under the DECwindows Motif license.
Free trial licenses are available on the CD–ROM for the
Netscape servers, Purveyor Encrypt, and the VTX Web
Interface to let you test drive the software.
OpenVMS Cluster Software
OpenVMS Cluster software is available for Alpha and
VAX systems as a separately licensed System Inte-
grated Product (SIP). It provides a highly integrated
OpenVMS computing environment that is distributed
over multiple systems containing up to 96 nodes.
OpenVMS Cluster systems and storage communicate
using a combination of the following interconnects:
• Memory Channel
•CI
• DIGITAL Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI)
• Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
• Ethernet
• Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
• Shared Memory Cluster Interconnect (SMCI) (Galaxy
only)
In addition, when configured with suitable FDDI bridges,
OpenVMS Cluster configurations can use DS3/T3 and
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networking infras-
tructures.
Applications running on one or more nodes in an Open-
VMS Cluster system share resources in a coordinated
manner. While updating data, the OpenVMS Cluster
software synchronizes access to shared resources, pre-
venting multiple processes on any node in the cluster
from uncoordinated access to shared data. This coordi-
nation ensures data integrity during concurrent update
transactions. Application programs specify the level of
OpenVMS Cluster file sharing that is required; access is
then coordinated by the extended QIO processor (XQP)
and Record Management System (RMS).
The OpenVMS queue manager controls the OpenVMS
Cluster batch and print queues, which can be accessed
by any node in the OpenVMS Cluster. Batch jobs sub-
mitted to OpenVMS Cluster queues are routed to any
available CPU so that the batch load is shared.
