HP OpenVMS 8.x specification

NOTE: As noted previously, HP recommends that you do not install or upgrade directly from a DVD (on your local Windows-based management workstation) with vMedia. Creating a disk image on the local drive (or a network drive) will make the installation or upgrade much faster. This assumes the local or network drive is accessible to your Integrity server over a high-speed network link.
