MEMORY SPACE REQUIREMENTS

OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers Memory Space Requirements

OpenVMS for Integrity servers is supported by the mini- mal memory requirements of the specific Integrity server platform. Please refer to the supported platform list lo- cated at:

http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/integrity/index.html

The minimum amount of memory required to install, boot, and log in to an OpenVMS Alpha system is 64 MB. Additional memory may be required to ensure sat- isfactory performance for either of the following:

Particular applications or number of users

Particular hardware configurations

Refer to specific layered product documentation for their memory requirements.

DISTRIBUTION MEDIA

OpenVMS for Integrity servers

OpenVMS for Integrity servers is available on DVD. The OpenVMS for Integrity servers binary DVD contains the operating system and layered product binaries for all layered products included with the Operating Environ- ments.

Other items in the OpenVMS for Integrity Servers kit are delivered on CD or DVD. A single media kit contains the operating system, Operating Environment compo- nent products, layered products, freeware, online docu- mentation, and several hardcopy manuals.

Some Integrity servers do not include a built-in CD/DVD drive. You can use an external USB CD/DVD drive (you must supply this drive and the required cable; they are not included with the Integrity servers). You can use InfoServer network booting to boot from a virtual DVD drive on the network. In addition, beginning with Open- VMS Version 8.3-1H1, you can use HP SIM provision- ing for similar purposes, in which case you can install or upgrade OpenVMS on multiple servers (up to 8) in the network simultaneously. You can also use virtual me- dia (vMedia) devices to allow you to boot, install, or up- grade OpenVMS from over the network, as described in the HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers Upgrade and Installation Manual.

Note: The Integrity quarterly Layered Products Library DVD will supersede layered products media upon each quarterly release. Quarterly updates for layered product components included on the OpenVMS OE media are delivered on an additional OpenVMS OE Update DVD to maintain the integrity of the original OpenVMS for Integrity servers binary distribution.

OpenVMS Alpha

OpenVMS Alpha is available on CD only. The Open- VMS Alpha CDs contain the operating system binaries, layered product binaries, freeware, online documenta- tion, and several hardcopy manuals.
