Step 1d - System Management Hardware/Software Requirements

Each AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 system includes System Management software that can significantly enhance and simplify monitoring and control of the system. Use of the System Management software is optional. The software, which runs on a separate Intel or Alpha system, consists of two major components:

1.Alpha Management Station (AMS) - for monitoring and control of multiple ES47, ES80, and GS1280 Alpha Systems. AMS offers the highest level of server management functionality for a single or multi-platform environment. The AMS software requires the following hardware in order to operate:

Tru64 UNIX platform with 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and two network interface cards running Tru64 UNIX V5.1B or later.

Intel IA-32 platform running Linux, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card.

2.Alpha Management Utility (AMU) - for monitoring and control of a single ES47, ES80, or GS1280 Alpha System. The AMU is a GUI based application that provides a sophisticated, yet user-friendly graphics interface. The AMU is a Web- based utility, which allows a user local and remote access from a browser. The AMU software requires one of the following hardware platforms in order to operate:

Intel IA-32 platform running Windows 2000 or later, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card.

Intel IA-32 platform running Linux, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-GB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card.

Tru64 UNIX platform running V5.1B or later, 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card.

OpenVMS platform running V7.3-1 or later, 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card.

3.Both the AMS and AMU software require Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or Netscape 4.76 or later.

4.AMS/AMU software kits and instructions may be downloaded from: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim/ams/index.html

NOTES:

1.Base systems do not include CPUs or memory (see Steps 3 and 4).

2.OpenVMS maximum processor support is 32P per partition. To achieve 64 processors, 2 x 32P OpenVMS partitions are required.
