OpenVMS System Management Guide, 2nd Edition
This complete text details the tools, technologies and techniques that can configure, maintain, and tune computers running Hewlett-Packard's high-performance OpenVMS operating system.
TABLE OF CONTENTS OpenVMS System Management Guide, 2nd Edition
Appendix C: Console Summary and Hardware Characteristics
There are two parts to this appendix. The first deals with console commands for the various VAX and Alpha computers. The second, courtesy of Paul Hardy, is a summary listing of all (as of 1998) VAX and Alpha computers, including CPU speed, code names, and so forth.
C.1 Console Summary
Most system-management tasks are similar, whether you manage a MicroVAX or VAX 6000. However, boot procedures can vary dramatically from machine to machine because of the variety of system buses to which a boot device might be attached. Fortunately, systems with the same bus type have similar boot procedures. As a result, boot procedures described in chapter 4 are organized by the various system bus types described in table C.1.
| Bus | Systems |
|---|---|
| QBUS | MicroVAX 2000, VAXstation II/GPX, Microvax 3500/3600, VAXstation 3200/3500, MicroVAX 3800/3900 |
| SCSI | MicroVAX 3100, VAXstation 3100, VAXstation 4000, VAX 4000-100, VAXstation 3520/3540 |
| DSSI | MicroVAX 3300/3400, VAX 4000, VAXft 3000 |
| UNIBUS | VAX 11/730, VAX 11/780, VAX 11/780, VAX 11/785, VAX 8600/ 8650 |
