DESCRIPTION
OpenVMS is a general-purpose, multiuser operating
system that runs in both production and development
environments. Starting with OpenVMS Version 8.2, HP
introduced support for OpenVMS for Integrity servers.
OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 continues support for all of
the Integrity servers and options supported in previous
versions of HP OpenVMS for Integrity servers. OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 introduces support for additional
Integrity server systems. For Alpha systems, OpenVMS
Version 8.3 replaces Version 8.2; for Integrity servers,
Version 8.3-1H1 replaces Version 8.3. Standard support
for OpenVMS Version 8.3 on Integrity systems continues when OpenVMS version 8.3-1H1 ships.
OpenVMS Alpha supports Hewlett-Packard’s AlphaServer
series computers. OpenVMS software supports industry
standards, facilitating application portability and interoperability. OpenVMS provides symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) support for multiprocessing systems.
The OpenVMS operating system can be tuned to
perform well in a wide variety of environments.
This includes combinations of compute-intensive, I/Ointensive, client/server, real-time, and other environments. Actual system performance depends on the type
of computer, available physical memory, and the number and type of active disk and tape drives.
The OpenVMS operating system has well-integrated
networking, distributed computing, client/server, multiprocessing, and windowing capabilities. It contains extensive features that promote ease-of-use, improve the
productivity of programmers, and facilitate system management.

USER ENVIRONMENT
Users can access the OpenVMS software by using the
English-like DIGITAL Command Language (DCL), the
command language for OpenVMS that is supplied with
the system. DCL commands provide information about
the system and initiate system utilities and user programs. DCL commands take the form of a command
name followed by parameters and qualifiers.
October 2007
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
Users can enter DCL commands at a terminal or include
them in command procedures. These command procedures can be run interactively or submitted to a batch
queue for later processing. Information about DCL and
OpenVMS utilities is available on line through the OpenVMS Help system.
For users who are familiar with the UNIX shell and utilities, an open source port of GNV is available. GNV
implements a UNIX environment on OpenVMS and
includes an Implementation of the UNIX shell BASH
(Bourne Again Shell) and many UNIX-shell utilities.
The following tools and utilities are integrated into the
OpenVMS operating system.
Text Processing
The Extensible Versatile Editor (EVE) is the default editor for OpenVMS. EVE allows users to insert, change,
and delete text quickly. EVE is a full-screen editor that
allows users to scroll through text on a terminal screen.
EVE provides an EDT-style keypad, allowing EDT users
to move easily to EVE.
Mail Utility
The Mail utility allows users to send messages to any
other user on the system. Multinode operation is available if a DECnet or TCP/IP product is installed and licensed on each participating node on the network.
Command-Level Programming
Command-level programming allows users to create
special files, called command procedures, that contain a
series of DCL commands. When users execute a command procedure, the system processes the commands
in the command procedure consecutively.
User Environment Tailoring
Users can customize the computing environment with
login command procedures, shorthand commands,
binding of commands to function keys, and command
recall and editing.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
OpenVMS includes a comprehensive set of tools for developing programs, including: run-time libraries (RTLs),
a linker, a librarian, and a symbolic debugger.
The following tools are available to the OpenVMS programmer.
Java™ SE Development Kit
The Java Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit
(JDK) provides a development and deployment environment for Java applications on OpenVMS Alpha and
OpenVMS for Integrity servers, including a set of basic
development tools and a rich set of class libraries.
Language and Run-Time Library Support
OpenVMS includes several RTLs that provide:
• String manipulation
• Parallel processing support
• I/O routines
• I/O conversion
• Terminal-independent screen handling
• Date and time formatting routines
• Highly accurate mathematical functions
• Signaling and condition handling
• Other general-purpose functions
With OpenVMS Alpha, these routines can be called
from programs written in such languages as MACRO32, MACRO-64, Ada, BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran,
Pascal, and PL/I.
With OpenVMS for Integrity servers, these routines can
be called from programs written in such languages as
MACRO-32, BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, and Pascal.
Also included in OpenVMS are language-support libraries. While each language is different, all provide
support for sequential file I/O, and most support direct
and indexed file I/O. Language RTLs also provide support for I/O formatting, error handling, and in Fortran, the
ability to read unformatted files that contain data from
other vendors.
RTLs are provided to support translated images created
from user-mode images built on OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.1 through Version 7.3-2.
Calling Standard
Many HP languages adhere to the common calling standard. This means that routines written in any of these
languages can directly call routines written in any other
language. Development of applications using multiple
languages is simple and straightforward.
All user-accessible routines in the RTLs follow the
appropriate platform calling standard and conditionhandling conventions, and most are contained within
shareable images.
2
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
At a lower level, programs can call system services directly for security, event flag, asynchronous system trap,
logical name, record and file I/O, process control, timer,
time conversion, condition handling, lock management,
and memory management. Again, system services use
the appropriate platform calling standard and conditionhandling conventions.
OpenVMS supports the execution of user-mode images
created on earlier versions of OpenVMS. Typically, recompiling and relinking are not required.
MACRO Compiler
With minor modifications, VAX MACRO-32 sources can
be compiled for execution on Alpha or Integrity servers.
POSIX Threads Library
OpenVMS includes a user-mode, multithreading capability called POSIX Threads Library. POSIX Threads
Library provides a POSIX 1003.1-1996 standard style
threads interface. Additionally, POSIX Threads Library provides an interface that is the OpenVMS implementation of Distributed Computing Environment (DCE)
threads as defined by The Open Group.
POSIX Threads Library is a library of run-time routines that allows the user to create multiple threads
of execution within a single address space. With
POSIX Threads Library Kernel Threads features enabled, POSIX Threads Library provides for concurrent
processing across all CPUs by allowing a multithreaded
application to have a thread executing on every CPU
(on both symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessor systems). Multithreading allows computation activity to
overlap I/O activity. Synchronization elements, such as
mutexes and condition variables, are provided to help
ensure that shared resources are accessed correctly.
For scheduling and prioritizing threads, POSIX Threads
Library provides multiple scheduling policies. For debugging multithreaded applications, POSIX Threads Library is supported by the OpenVMS Debugger. POSIX
Threads Library also provides Thread Independent Services (TIS), which assist in the development of threadsafe APIs.
Librarian Utility
The Librarian utility permits storage of object modules,
image files, macros, help files, text files, or any general record-oriented information in central, easily accessible files. Object module and image file libraries are
searched by the linker when the linker finds a reference
it cannot resolve in one of its input files. Macro libraries
are searched by MACRO-32 and MACRO-64 when either finds a macro name that is not defined in the input
file.
Hypersort
Hypersort is a portable library of user-callable routines
that provide a high-performance sorting capability for
Alpha and Integrity servers.
Traceback Facility
When an application is compiled and linked with traceback information, the Traceback facility translates stack
frame addresses into routine names and line numbers
and displays a symbolic traceback whenever a runtime
error occurs in that application.
Debugger
The OpenVMS Debugger allows users to trace program
execution, as well as display and modify register contents using the same symbols that are present in the
source code.
The debugger contains a heap analyzer feature that displays a graphic view of memory allocations and deallocations in real time.
System Code Debugger
The OpenVMS System Code Debugger is a kernel code
debugger. It allows a system code developer to trace
the execution of nonpageable system code at any interrupt priority level (IPL). Based on the OpenVMS Debugger, the System Code Debugger uses the same interface and most of the same command set.
System Dump Analyzer (SDA) Utility
In the event of a system failure, OpenVMS writes the
contents of memory to a preallocated dump file. This
dump file can later be analyzed using System Dump
Analyzer (SDA). System dumps can either be full memory dumps, where all memory is written, or selective
memory dumps, where only portions of memory in use
at the time of the system failure is written. The dump
file can be located on any locally connected disk. On
Alpha and Integrity servers, dump compression allows
both full and selective dumps to be written to smaller
files than required for uncompressed dumps. Full memory dumps, if not compressed, require a dump file big
enough to hold all memory. Selective memory dumps
write as much of the memory in use at the time of the
system failure that will fit into the dump file.
Spinlock Tracing Utility
The Spinlock Tracing Utility provides a mechanism for
characterizing spinlock usage and can collect performance data for a given spinlock on a per-CPU basis.

HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
Process Dumps
When an application fails, a copy of its registers and
memory can be written to a data file, which can be
examined using the ANALYZE PROCESS utility. This
utility uses the same interface and commands as the
OpenVMS Debugger to allow registers and memory to
be examined. On Alpha or Integrity servers, another
process can initiate the writing of the memory dump.
RMS File Utilities
Record Management Services (RMS) file utilities allow
users to analyze the internal structure of an RMS file
and tune the I/O, memory, space and performance parameters of the file. The RMS file utilities can also be
used to create, load, and reclaim space in an RMS file.
Refer to the Operating System Environment section of
this SPD for more information about RMS.
File Differences Utility
This utility compares the contents of two files and lists
those records that do not match.
Translated Image Environment (TIE) (Alpha)
OpenVMS Alpha provides an array of services that
allow the operation of programs which have undergone binary translation from OpenVMS VAX images.
These programs perform virtually all user-mode functions on OpenVMS Alpha and operate in combination
with other programs (images) that have been translated
from OpenVMS VAX or have been built using native
compilers on OpenVMS Alpha. Without requiring special source code, the TIE resolves differences between
the VAX and Alpha architectures, including floatingpoint registers, condition codes, exception handling, and
ASTs. The TIE included with OpenVMS Alpha can run
images that have been translated elsewhere.
For additional information, refer to the following web
site: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/cace.html
(under the Tools section)
Translated Image Environment (TIE)
(Integrity servers)
OpenVMS for Integrity servers provides an array of
services that allow the operation of programs which
have undergone binary translation from OpenVMS Alpha images or VESTed OpenVMS VAX images. These
programs perform virtually all user-mode functions on
OpenVMS for Integrity servers and operate in combination with other programs (images) that have been
translated from OpenVMS Alpha or VAX, or have been
built using native compilers on OpenVMS for Integrity
servers. Without requiring special source code, the TIE
resolves differences between the Alpha and Integrity architectures, including floating-point.
For additional information, refer to the following web
site: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/commercial/cace.html
(under the Tools section)
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT ENVIRONMENT
OpenVMS provides a set of tools and utilities that aid
the system manager in configuring and maintaining an
optimal system as follows:
Web-Based Enterprise Management Services for
OpenVMS
Web-Based Enterprise Managment (WBEM) Services
for OpenVMS is an industry standard for monitoring
and controlling resources. It is available and installed
automatically with OpenVMS on Integrity server systems. WBEM Services for OpenVMS (WBEMCIM) is
required for use of such features as Instant Capacity
(iCAP), Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP), and Pay
per use (PPU), and for products such as Global Workload Manager (gWLM), and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM). In addition, WBEM Providers for OpenVMS is installed automatically with OpenVMS for Integrity servers. It is required for HP SIM services and
GiCAP.
With version 8.3-1H1 support for HP BL860c Server
Blade, management and monitoring of these systems
is accomplished by WBEM communicating with HP SIM
management agents. For server blade support, new
"Providers" are included that enable the monitoring of
hardware and the operating system, including:
• Operating system
• Computer system
• Process and processor statistics
• Indication (monitors events)
• Firmware version
• Fan and power supply
• Management Processor
• CPU instance
• Memory instance
• Enclosure

HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
Provisioning OpenVMS Using HP Systems Insight
Manager
Provisioning is the process of installing or upgrading an
operating system. With provisioning support, HP SIM
installs or upgrades OpenVMS quickly and easily on
one or more servers in the network. You can install
or upgrade OpenVMS on up to eight servers simultaneously. Provisioning support also facilitates installing
or upgrading OpenVMS on Integrity servers and server
blades that do not include a CD/DVD drive.
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation
for HP’s unified server-storage management strategy. It
provides simplified, centralized management of multiple servers and platforms through a web-based, unified
("single-pane-of-glass") interface. HP SIM offers the basic tools needed to identify, discover, monitor and deploy
systems and other assets on the network. The core HP
SIM software uses WBEM to deliver essential capabilities required for managing HP server platforms.
HP SIM running on an HP ProLiant server with Microsoft
Windows supports provisioning of OpenVMS on both
HP Integrity rx3600 and rx6600 servers, and on HP Integrity BL860c Server Blades.
HP SIM can be activated from a browser on a PC.
An OpenVMS plug-in must be installed on the ProLiant
server. Once HP SIM initiates the provisioning, the installation or upgrade process occurs automatically in the
background. To provide provisioning over the network,
use HP SIM in conjunction with the InfoServer software
utility (and TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS).
Provisioning can also be accomplished with vMedia. An
ISO image of the OpenVMS OE DVD is created and
stored on the server where HP SIM is running. HP SIM
then connects vMedia to that image. Using vMedia one
server can be provisioned at a time. Currently, HP SIM
provisioning does not support booting from a shadowed
system disk. You can deploy vMedia independently of
HP SIM to install or upgrade a server over the network.
For more information about OpenVMS Provisioning see:
http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/provisioning
HP Availability Manager
HP Availability Manager is a system management tool
that enables you to monitor one or more OpenVMS
nodes on an extended local area network (LAN) from either an OpenVMS Alpha system, or an OpenVMS for Integrity server system, or a PC running Windows®. This
tool helps system managers and analysts target a specific node or process for detailed analysis and also can
resolve certain performance or resource problems. It is
the multiplatform replacement for the DECamds product
and includes the DECamds functionality in its capabilities.
For OpenVMS version 8.3-1H1, Availability Manager
has a wide-area capability whereby any system on the
network supporting AM can be managed from a central
console.
The Data Collector, part of the Availability Manager
product, collects system and process data on an OpenVMS node and should be installed on each node that
you need to monitor (Alpha and Integrity servers).
The Data Analyzer analyzes and displays the data collected by the Data Collector, and can analyze and display data from many OpenVMS nodes simultaneously
(OpenVMS Alpha nodes, and PCs running Windows).
Hardware recommendations and related documentation
are available on the OpenVMS System Management
web page located at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms
/availabilitymanager/
DECamds
DECamds is in maintenance mode and is not available
on OpenVMS Version 8.2 or higher. Availability Manager replaces DECamds. DECamds installs and runs
on VAX from V6.2 through V7.3 and Alpha from V6.2
through V7.3-2.
DECamds is not supported on OpenVMS for Integrity
servers and will not install on OpenVMS Alpha Version
8.2 or higher.
Management Agents for OpenVMS
HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) is the foundation for HP’s unified infrastructure management strategy. It provides hardware level management for all HP
storage products and servers, including OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers. With Management Agents installed on an OpenVMS system, that
system can be managed using HP SIM as the single
management console providing fault monitoring, configuration management, and event alarms. The Management Agents for OpenVMS and related documentation
is available on the OpenVMS System Management web
page located at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms
/managementagents/
HP OpenVMS Management Station
HP OpenVMS Management Station (OMS) is a powerful Microsoft® Windows based management tool for
system managers and others who perform system management tasks on OpenVMS systems. OMS features
an intuitive user interface that is meaningful to system
managers and their environment by allowing them to
manage user accounts, printers, and storage on their
systems. System managers and help desk staff no
5
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
longer need to remember complicated DCL syntax or
command procedures to manage their OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server systems. OMS is based on the
Microsoft Management Console (MMC). The Microsoft
Management Console provides a common management
framework for various administration programs. OpenVMS Management Station is implemented as an MMC
snap-in and includes all of the MMC components you
need. OpenVMS Management Station and related documentation is available via the OpenVMS System Management web page located at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/
managementstation/
Enterprise Capacity and Performance Analyzer
Enterprise Capacity and Performance (ECP) Analyzer
works with the data that is collected by a Data Collector (ECP Data Collector for VAX and Performance Data
Collector (TDC) Version 2.1 or later for Alpha and Integrity servers). ECP Analyzer provides both graphical
(MOTIF-based) and tabular reports for the data assembled by the collector including metrics for CPU, disk I/O,
memory, paging, processes, locks, and SCS. The ECP
Analyzer, which runs on Alpha, will process data from:
• ECP Data Collector (VAX)
• TDC (Alpha and Integrity servers)
The Performance Analyzer and related documentation
is available on the OpenVMS System Management web
page located at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/ecp/
Performance Data Collector
The Graphical Configuration Manager (GCM) for
OpenVMS is a portable client/server application that
provides a visual means of viewing and controlling the
configuration of partitioned AlphaServer systems running OpenVMS. The GCM client, a Java-based application, can run on any operating system that supports
a TCP/IP network and the Java runtime environment—
Software Development Kit (SDK), v1.2.2 or higher, for
the Java Platform. (Currently, the GCM client is not supported on SDK Version 1.3 or higher.) A GCM server
runs as a detached process on each partitioned OpenVMS instance on one or more AlphaServer systems.
Class Scheduler for CPU Scheduling
The Class Scheduler is a SYSMAN-based interface for
defining and controlling scheduling classes for OpenVMS systems that allows you to designate the percentage of CPU time that a system’s user may receive by
placing users into scheduling classes.
Batch and Print Queuing System
OpenVMS provides an extensive batch and print capability that allows the creation of queues and the setup of
spooled devices to process non-interactive workloads in
parallel with timesharing or real-time jobs.
The OpenVMS batch and print operations support two
types of queues: generic queues and execution queues.
A generic queue is an intermediate queue that holds a
job until an appropriate execution queue becomes available to initiate the job. An execution queue is a queue
through which the job (either print or batch) is actually
processed. Because multiple execution queues can be
associated with a generic queue, OpenVMS enables
load balancing across available systems in an OpenVMS Cluster system, increasing overall system throughput.
Performance data for an AlphaServer or Integrity server
system can be gathered using the Performance Data
Collector (TDC). By default, TDC periodically collects
and stores data in a file that can be retrieved by user
applications. A TDC Software Developers Kit (SDK)
supports integration of TDC with new or existing applications and allows processing of "live" data as well as
data read from files. TDC Version 2.2 runtime software
is installed with OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1.
Performance Data Collector runtime software (TDC_RT
Version 2.2) is installed with OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1.
Additional Performance Data Collector software and updates, the SDK, and related documentation are available at:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc/
Graphical Configuration Manager for OpenVMS
Print queues, both generic and execution, together with
queue management facilities, provide versatile print capabilities, including support for various print file formats.
Accounting Utility
For accounting purposes, OpenVMS keeps records of
system resource usage. These statistics include processor and memory utilization, I/O counts, print symbiont line counts, image activation counts, and process
termination records. The OpenVMS Accounting utility
allows you to generate various reports using this data.
Audit Analysis Utility
For security auditing purposes, OpenVMS selectively
records critical, security-relevant events in the system
security audit log file. These records contain the date
and time the event occurred, the identity of the associated user process, and information specific to each
event type. This information helps the system manager
6
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
maintain system security and deter possible intruders.
The OpenVMS Audit Analysis utility allows you to generate various reports from this data.
Autoconfigure and AUTOGEN Utilities
The Autoconfigure and AUTOGEN utilities automatically
configure the available devices in the system tables and
set system parameters based on the peripheral and
memory architecture. This eliminates the need for a traditional system generation process when the hardware
configuration is expanded or otherwise modified.
The OpenVMS AUTOGEN command procedure sets
several system parameters automatically by detecting
the devices installed in a configuration. A feedback option allows you to generate a report of recommended
parameter settings based on previous usage patterns.
Backup Utility
The Backup utility provides both full-volume and incremental file backups for file-structured, mounted volumes
and volume sets. Individual files, selected directory
structures, or all files on a volume set can be backed
up and restored. Files can be selected by various dates
(such as creation or modification) and can be backed up
to magnetic tape, magnetic disk, or Write Once Read
Many (WORM) optical disk. The Backup utility can also
be used to restore a saveset or list the contents of a
saveset.
A Backup API is included for invoking backup routines
from an executable procedure.
The Backup Manager for OpenVMS provides a screenoriented interface to the Backup utility that assists users
in performing routine backup operations. The Backup
Manager is menu driven and provides:
• Access to the save, restore, and list operations without having to understand Backup command syntax
• The ability to create, modify, recall, and delete
Backup Manager templates that describe the Backup
save operations
Recordable DVD
OpenVMS provides the capability on Alpha and Integrity
server systems to record locally mastered disk volumes
or disk image files onto a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R or
DVD+RW optical-media recording device on specific
drives and configurations.
Recordable CD
OpenVMS provides the capability to write once to CD-R
media using an application shipping in the base operating system. The feature supports only those writable
CD devices (CD-RW) that ship with supported Alpha
systems and supported Integrity servers. For the application details, please reference the OpenVMS documentation set. For platforms supporting the CD-RW
hardware option, please refer to the appropriate page
at the following web sites:
http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/
http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/integrity/index.html
Analyze Disk Structure Utility
The Analyze Disk Structure utility compares the structure information on a disk volume with the contents of
the disk, prints the structure information, and permits
changes to that information. It can also be used to repair errors detected in the file structure of disks.
License Management Facility (LMF)
The License Management Facility allows the system
manager to enable software licenses and to determine
which software products are licensed on an OpenVMS
system.
System Management Utility (SYSMAN)
The System Management utility allows system managers to define a management environment in which
operations performed from the local OpenVMS system
can be executed on all other OpenVMS systems in the
environment.
HP Services Tools
HP Services provides web-based tools for crash dump
analysis and hardware fault isolation. For more information, visit the following web site:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/
SECURITY
OpenVMS provides a rich set of tools to control user access to system-controlled data structures and devices
that store information. OpenVMS employs a reference
monitor concept that mediates all access attempts between subjects (such as user processes) and securityrelevant system objects (such as files). OpenVMS also
provides a system security audit log file that records the
results of all object access attempts. The audit log can
also be used to capture information regarding a wide
variety of other security-relevant events.
User account information, privileges and quotas associated with each user account is maintained in the system
user authorization file (SYSUAF). Each user account is
assiged a user name, password, and unique user identification code (UIC). To log in and gain access to the
system, the user must supply a valid user name and
password. The password is encoded and does not appear on terminal displays.
7
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
Users can change their password voluntarily, or the system manager can specify how frequently passwords
change, along with minimum password length, and the
use of randomly generated passwords.
Operations
OpenVMS allows for varying levels of privilege to be
assigned to different operators. Operators can use
the OpenVMS Help Message utility to receive online
descriptions of error messages. In addition, systemgenerated messages can be routed to different terminals
based on their interest to the console operators, tape librarians, security administrators, and system managers.
Security auditing is provided for the selective recording
of security-related events. This auditing information can
be directed to security operator terminals (alarms) or
to the system security audit log file (audits). Each audit record contains the date and time of the event, the
identity of the associated user process, and additional
information specific to each event.
OpenVMS provides security auditing for the following
events:
• Login and logout
• Login failures and break-in attempts
• Object creation, access, deaccess, and deletion; selectable by use of privilege, type of access, and on
individual objects
• Authorization database changes
• Network logical link connections for DECnet for
OpenVMS, DECnet-Plus, DECwindows, IPC, and
SYSMAN
• Use of identifiers or privileges
• Installed image additions, deletions, and replacements
• Volume mounts and dismounts
• Use of the Network Control Program (NCP) utility
• Use or failed use of individual privileges
• Use of individual process control system services
• System parameter changes
• System time changes and recalibrations
Every security-relevant system object is labeled with the
UIC of its owner along with a simple protection mask.
The owner UIC consists of two fields: the user field
and a group field. System objects also have a protection mask that allows read, write, execute, and delete
access to the object’s owner, group, privileged system
users, and to all other users. The system manager can
protect system objects with access control lists (ACLs)
that allow access to be granted or denied to a list of individual users, groups, or identifiers. ACLs can also be
used to audit access attempts to critical system objects.
OpenVMS applies full protection to the following system
objects:
• Common event flag clusters
• Devices
• Files
• Group global sections
• Logical name tables
• Batch/print queues
• Resource domains
• Security classes
• System global sections
• ODS-2 volumes
• ODS-5 volumes
OpenVMS provides optional security solutions to protect
your information and communications:
• OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 includes encryption for
data confidentiality that ships as part of the operating system, thereby removing the requirement
to license and install Encrypt separately. The ENCRYPT and DECRYPT commands, now part of
OpenVMS, support AES file encryption with 128,
192, or 256 bit keys. AES encryption is also supported by BACKUP/ENCRYPT, allowing for the creation of encrypted tapes and save-sets. The built-in
encryption functionality is backward-compatible with
file and backup tapes created by the former layered product Encryption for OpenVMS. This layered
product featured 56-bit Data Encryption Standard
(DES), which continues to function today, allowing
for the decryption of archived DES encrypted data.
The AES encryption functionality supports Electronic
Code Book (ECB) and Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
block modes of encryption. The Cipher Feedback
(CFB) and Output Feedback (OFB) 8-bit character
stream modes are also supported from the command
line as well as by the programmatic APIs.
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for OpenVMS Alpha
and Integrity server systems provides secure transfer
of sensitive information over the Internet
• Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) is configured and initialized automatically during installation and upgrades and is required for Secure Delivery purposes and other security features. If you install a newer version of CDSA without upgrading the
base operating system, you must initalize the CDSA
software, using the following command. Enter the
command from an account that has both SYSPRV
8
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
and CMKRNL privileges (for example, the SYSTEM
account). $ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADE
• Kerberos for OpenVMS
• Per-Thread Security Profiles
• External Authentication
Note: Users who are externally authenticated by their
LAN Manager need only remember a single user

follow all industry-recognized security practices. OpenVMS recommended procedures are included in the HP
OpenVMS Guide to System Security.
HP UTILITY PRICING ON OpenVMS FOR
INTEGRITY SERVERS
HP Utility Pricing on OpenVMS for Integrity servers enables customers to pay for CPU resources when they
need them, thereby allowing them to respond to planned
or unplanned permanent load increases and temporary
spikes.
• Instant Capacity or iCAP is relevant for systems that
are purchased through capital expenditure.
• Pay per use (PPU) is valid only for systems that are
leased exclusively through HP Finance.
Instant Capacity
Instant Capacity (iCAP) provides reserve capacity that
the customer can put into production quickly without disrupting operations.
Benefits:
• Provides a highly available preconfigured "ready-torun" solution.
• Allows activation of reserve capacity when needed.
• Encompasses cell boards and individual cores.
• Allows you to defer or avoid purchase of capactiy
until used.
• Full corporate implementation ensures OpenVMS
can share iCAP cores across hard partitions with HPUX on a common Integrity system.
• Integrated with Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
which can automatically reallocate active cores
across hard partitions in response to workload demands.
Operational features:
• iCAP cores are purchased at a fraction of the price of
active cores and are denoted as Components Without Usage Rights (CWUR).
• Systems are configured at the factory before delivery
with a minimum of one active core and the required
number of iCAP cores.
• Once iCAP cores are activated, the balance of the
price is paid and an activation Rights To Use (RTU)
codeword is obtained from the HP iCAP web portal.
The iCAP core/memory is then made active by the
system manager.
• When a core or cell board is permanently activated,
support of the core/cell board is automatically added
to the overall support costs of the system.
Note: Activation of iCAP permanently adds a new core,
with all the attendant HP software and third-party software licensing and support that this requires.
TiCAP (Temporary iCAP)
• Enables the customer to temporarily activate processors for a set period of time, with a minimum 30
minute granularity per core.
• Permanent activation fee is not required. You can
utilize an existing core for as long as needed.
• Accommodates customers with unpredictable or
planned temporary processor demands.
Operational features:
• Works with processors, does not include cell boards
or memory.
• Customer orders standard iCAP processors and
pays the same discounted price.
• Customer then purchases the right to temporarily activate one or more iCAP cores for one or more 30CPU days.
• Does not require an email connection from customer
site to HP.
• The iCAP software issues a warning before the
TiCAP license is likely to expire, based on the rate
of depletion that it tracks across all relevant cores.
9
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
• Hardware services are included for the cores activated by the TiCAP license.
• The relevant operating environment (OE) is automatically licensed on activated TiCAP cores.
Note: Other HP and third-party software have their own
licensing policies. HP recommends that customers purchase sufficient software licenses to meet peak needs.
Pay per use
Pay per use (PPU) is a leasing program with HP Finance
which customers pay only for CPU computing capacity
they use.
Key features:
• Runs on all Integrity cell-based systems (rx7620,
rx7640, rx8620, rx8640, and Superdome).
• The customer pays a fixed, minimum monthly lease
and a variable monthly amount that is based on actual usage of CPUs.
• The customer is guaranteed that, for any given
month, the PPU charge will not exceed 105% of the
standard lease cost.
• The customer is guaranteed that over the full term of
the lease—either three or four years, as chosen by
the customer—the total PPU lease charge will not exceed 100% of the standard full-term lease cost system.
• There are two types of PPU:
1. Actual percentage of utilization of each CPU (also
called Percent CPU)
2. A count of the number of active CPUs (also called
Active CPU)
• Percent CPU and Active CPU are mutually exclusive
on any single Integrity system.
• The full corporate implementation allows OpenVMS
to share PPU CPUs with HP-UX and Windows-64
(Percent CPU only) on a common, partitioned Integrity system.
Process Description:
• A PPU Metering Agent running on a target system
continuously measures CPU resource utilization on
every installed CPU.
• This utilization data is sent to a Utility Meter running
on an HP ProLiant system that can support up to 99
individual PPU systems.
• This system securely communicates with the HP Utility Pricing web portal every 24 hours, sending collated utilization information about each PPU system.
• The customer can access the Utility Pricing Portanl
48 hours later through a secure connection, and access usage statistics for that 24 hour period for each
system or hard partition.
• This information enables the accurate billing of Business Units for the actual CPU resources they have
consumed.
OPERATING SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
Processes and Scheduling
Executable images consist of system programs and
user programs that have been compiled and linked.
These images run in the context of a process on OpenVMS systems. Sixty-four process priorities are recognized on OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity
servers. Priorities 0 to 15 are for time-sharing processes and applications (four is the typical default for
timesharing processes). Priorities 16 to 63 on Alpha
and Integrity servers are for real-time processes. Realtime processes can be assigned higher priorities to ensure that they receive processor time whenever they are
ready to execute.
OpenVMS uses paging and swapping to provide sufficient virtual memory for concurrently executing processes. Paging and swapping is also provided for processes whose memory requirements exceed available
physical memory.
64-Bit Virtual Addressing
The OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity
servers operating systems provide support for 64-bit virtual memory addressing. This capability makes the 8 TB
virtual address space available to the OpenVMS Alpha
and OpenVMS for Integrity servers operating systems
and to application programs. Future hardware implementations for Integrity servers will provide greater capacity. OpenVMS applications can take advantage of
64-bit processing by using 64-bit data types supported
by the compilers. Refer to the SPDs for the OpenVMS
Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers compilers for
further details.
Very Large Memory (VLM) Features
OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers
provide the following additional memory management
VLM features beyond those provided by 64-bit virtual
addressing. These features can be used by database
servers to keep large amounts of data in memory, resulting in dramatically increased runtime performance. The
VLM features provided by OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers are:
• Memory-resident global sections
• Fast I/O for global sections
10
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
• Shared page tables
• Expandable global page table
• Reserved memory registry
DECdtm Services
The DECdtm services embedded in the OpenVMS operating system support fully distributed databases using a two-phase commit protocol. The DECdtm services provide the technology and features for distributed
processing, ensuring both transaction and database integrity across multiple HP resource managers. Updates
to distributed databases occur as a single all-or-nothing
unit of work, regardless of where the data physically resides. This ensures the consistency of distributed data.
DECdtm services allow applications to define global
transactions that can include calls to any number of HP
data management products. Regardless of the mix of
data management products used, the global transaction either commits or aborts. OpenVMS is unique in
providing transaction processing functionality with base
operating system services.
DECdtm features include:
• Embedded OpenVMS system services that support
the DECtp architecture, providing the features and
technology for distributed transaction processing.
• Ability for multiple disjoint resources to be updated
automatically. These resources can be either physically disjointed on different clusters at separate sites,
or logically disjointed in different databases on the
same node.
• Ability to use the X/Open Distributed Transaction
Processing XA interface that enables the DECdtm
transaction manager to coordinate XA-compliant resource managers (the HP DECdtm XA Veneer), and
XA-compliant transaction processing systems to coordinate DECdtm-compliant resource managers (the
DECdtm XA Gateway).
• Robust application development. Applications can
be written to ensure that data is never in an inconsistent state, even in the event of system failures.
• Ability to be called using any HP TP monitor or
database product. This is useful for applications using several HP database products.
Interprocess Communication
OpenVMS provides the following facilities for applications that consist of multiple cooperating processes:
• Shared memory sections on a single processor or an
SMP system that permit multiple processes to access
shared address space concurrently.
• Galaxywide sections on a Galaxy platform that permit
multiple processes in multiple instances to access
shared address space concurrently.
• Common event flags that provide simple synchronization.
• A lock manager that provides a more comprehensive enqueue/dequeue facility with multilevel locks,
values, and asynchronous system traps (ASTs).
• Intracluster communication services through which
two processes running on the same system or on different OpenVMS Cluster nodes can establish a connection and exchange data.
• Logical names through which one process can pass
information to other processes running on the same
system or on different OpenVMS Cluster nodes.
• Network interprocess communication is available via
TCP/IP Services and DECnet-Plus (product licenses
are required).
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP)
OpenVMS provides symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
support for Alpha and Integrity servers multiprocessor
systems. SMP is a form of tightly coupled multiprocessing in which all processors perform operations simultaneously. All processors perform operations in all
OpenVMS access modes, user, supervisor, executive,
and kernel.
OpenVMS SMP configurations consist of multiple CPUs
executing code from a single shared memory address
space. Users and processes share a single copy of
OpenVMS for Integrity servers or OpenVMS Alpha address space. SMP also provides simultaneous shared
access to common data in global sections to all processors. OpenVMS SMP selects the CPU where a process
will run based on its priority and in special cases as directed by the application. OpenVMS uses a specialized
scheduling algorithm when running a nonuniform memory access (NUMA) platform.
SMP support is an integral part of OpenVMS and is
provided to the user transparently. Because an SMP
system is a single system entity, it is configured into
a network and OpenVMS Cluster configurations as a
single node.
The maximum number of supported CPUs in an SMP
configuration is 32.
• Mailboxes as virtual devices that allow processes to
communicate with queued messages.

Networking Facilities
OpenVMS provides device drivers for all HP local area
network (LAN) adapters listed in the LAN Options section of Appendix A of this SPD. Application programmers
can use the QIO system service to communicate with
other systems connected via the LAN using either
Ethernet or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3 packet format. Simultaneous use
of HP Ethernet and the IEEE 802.3 protocols are supported on any HP LAN adapter.
OpenVMS Alpha supports Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring,
and ATM for local area networks (LANs). OpenVMS for
Integrity servers supports Ethernet only.
OpenVMS Alpha supports the standards defined by the
ATM Forum’s LANE Version 1.0 specifications for LAN
emulation over an ATM network. By implementing an
emulated LAN over an ATM network, you enable a
group of ATM stations to act like a traditional LAN.
LAN emulated over an ATM network allows you to run
your existing applications basically unchanged, while
the computers on which your applications are running
are connected to the ATM network.
OpenVMS supports the following networking products:
• HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, the industrystandard set of protocols for interoperating between
different operating systems
• HP DECnet-Plus, the Digital Network Architecture,
Phase V
• DECnet, the DIGITAL Network Architecture, Phase
IV
These networking products are described in this SPD
under Associated Products.
Terminal Server Products
Beginning with OpenVMS version 8.3, HP OpenVMS
I64 serial support is provided through the USB serial
multiplexer (MUX). OpenVMS supports several generic
chipsets which allow third-party USB-based serial multiplexers to connect to OpenVMS systems for RS232
serial lines, traditional terminal connections, and lowspeed system-to-system connectivity. For more information, refer to the following website:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/integrity/
integrity_io_options.html
OpenVMS provides a USB configration tool called UCM
that can be used to track USB configuration changes
like plug and unplug events. UCM can also be used
to restrict the automatic addition of specific devices and
classes of devices. The UCM event log is used by HP
to help diagnose problems with USB devices.
AlphaServers
OpenVMS supports the fully qualified USB devices
listed in the appropriate AlphaServer platform configuration and options web site:
http://h18002.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/
OpenVMS Alpha USB support is limited to low and full
speed devices only, and currently supports only the AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 systems.
Integrity Server Systems
Starting with OpenVMS version 8.3-1H1, OpenVMS
supports USB low-, full-, and high-speed devices for all
supported OpenVMS Integrity systems. USB DVD support in OpenVMS version 8.3-1H1 includes both reading
and burning DVDs on the following supported Integrity
server systems: rx2660, rx3600, rx6600.
HP terminal server products provide terminal server access to OpenVMS. When used in an OpenVMS Cluster environment, terminal servers distribute users across
the available Alpha and Integrity server systems at login
time.
OpenVMS can also establish a connection to other
devices (such as printers) attached to such terminal
servers.
Universal Serial Bus Support
OpenVMS supports the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
technology. Support for the USB interconnect enables
OpenVMS systems to connect to multiple supported
USB devices using a single USB cable. OpenVMS supports one USB keyboard and mouse on systems that
are supported by OpenVMS and have USB hardware
and a graphics controllers.
Reliability
OpenVMS handles hardware errors as transparently as
possible while maintaining data integrity and providing
sufficient information to diagnose errors. The system
limits the effects of an error by first determining if the
error is fatal. If the error occurs in system context, the
current OpenVMS system shuts down. If the error is not
fatal, the system recovers actions pertinent to the error
and continues the current operation.
In all cases, information relevant to the error is written
to the error log file for later analysis. Hardware errors
include the following categories:
• Processor errors. These include processor soft
errors, processor hard errors, processor machine
checks, and adapter errors.
12
HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
• Memory errors. These can be unrecoverable (hard)
errors or recoverable (soft) errors. The system examines memory at startup time and does not use any
bad pages. During system operation, the system corrects all single-bit memory errors for those systems
with error correction code (ECC) memory.
• Correctible memory errors. A primary cause of
these correctible memory errors is alpha particle radiation. On some processors, when correctible memory errors occur, the memory controller corrects only
the data returned to the CPU or I/O controller. The
actual data in memory is left with the error intact.
Subsequent read operations cause correction cycles
to occur and, in most cases, an interrupt to report
the error. On many of these processors, OpenVMS
monitors the occurrence of correctible memory errors
and, in almost all cases, is able to remove the error
condition by rewriting the data in memory. Rewriting the data causes the data to be corrected in that
memory location.
Other failures include:
• Operating system errors (system-detected inconsistencies or architectural errors in system context)
• User errors
• I/O errors
The system logs all processor errors, all operating
system errors detected through internal consistency
checks, all double-bit memory errors (and a summary
of corrected single-bit memory errors), and most I/O errors.
If the system is shut down because of an unrecoverable
hardware or software error, a dump of physical memory is written. The dump includes the contents of the
processor registers. The OpenVMS System Dump Analyzer (SDA) utility is provided for analyzing memory
dumps.
Input/Output
The QIO system service and other related I/O services
provide a direct interface to the operating system’s I/O
routines. These services are available from within most
OpenVMS programming languages and can be used to
perform low-level I/O operations efficiently with a minimal amount of system overhead for time-critical applications.
Device drivers execute I/O instructions to transfer data
to and from a device and to communicate directly with
an I/O device. Each type of I/O device requires its own
driver. HP supplies drivers for all devices supported
by the OpenVMS operating system and provides QIO
system service routines to access the special features
available in many of these devices.
OpenVMS supports a variety of disk and tape peripheral devices, as well as terminals, networks, and mailboxes (virtual devices for interprocess communication),
and more general I/O devices.
I/O Performance Features
Fast I/O provides a suite of additional system services
that applications can use to improve I/O throughput. The
fast I/O services minimize the CPU resources required
to perform I/O.
Fast Path provides a streamlined mainline code path
through the I/O subsystem to improve both uniprocessor and multiprocessor I/O performance. On multiprocessor systems, Fast Path allows all CPU processing for
specific I/O adapters to be handled by a specific CPU.
This can significantly lower the demands on the primary
CPU and increase the I/O throughput on multiprocessor systems with multiple I/O ports. No user application
changes are needed to take advantage of Fast Path.
Fast Path can be utilized by the $QIO system service
or the Fast I/O services.
Extended File Cache (XFC)
The Extended File Cache (XFC) is a virtual block data
cache provided with OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for
Integrity servers. Similar to the Virtual I/O Cache, the
XFC is a clusterwide, file system data cache. Both file
system data caches are compatible and coexist in the
OpenVMS Cluster.
The XFC improves I/O performance with the following
features that are not available with the virtual I/O cache:
• Read-ahead caching
• Automatic resizing of the cache
• Larger maximum cache size
• No limit on the number of closed files that can be
cached
• Control over the maximum size of I/O that can be
cached
• Control over whether cache memory is static or dynamic
Virtual I/O Cache (Alpha only)
OpenVMS Alpha provides a standalone or clusterwide,
file-oriented disk cache. Applications benefit from the
advantages of the virtual I/O cache without any special
coding. The virtual I/O file-caching algorithm is chosen
based on the type of clusterwide access currently in
progress. Virtual I/O caching reduces current and potential I/O bottlenecks within OpenVMS systems. It reduces the number of I/Os to the disk subsystem, thereby
reducing systemwide bottlenecks.

HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.13
Record Management Services (RMS)
RMS is a set of I/O services that helps application programs to process and manage files and records. Although it is intended to provide a comprehensive software interface to mass storage devices, RMS also supports device-independent access to unit-record devices.
RMS supports sequential, relative, and indexed file organizations in fixed-length or variable-length record formats. RMS also supports byte stream formats for sequential file organization.
RMS record access modes provide access to records
in four ways:
• Sequentially
• Directly by key value
• Directly by relative record number
• Directly by record file address
RMS also supports block I/O operations for various performance-critical applications that require userdefined file organizations and record formats.
RMS promotes safe and efficient file sharing by providing multiple file access modes and automatic record
locking (where applicable). RMS offers the options of
enabling global buffers for buffer sharing by multiple processes.
RMS utilities aid file creation and record maintenance.
These utilities convert files from one organization and
format to another; restructure indexed files for storage
and access efficiency; and reclaim data structures within
indexed files. These utilities also generate appropriate
reports.
For systems that have DECnet or DECnet-Plus installed, RMS provides a subset of file and record management services to remote network nodes. Remote file
operations are generally transparent to user programs.
Commands such as EDIT, CREATE, COPY, TYPE, and
PRINT allow users to manipulate RMS records within
RMS files at the DCL command level.
Disk and Tape Volumes
The system manager can organize disk volumes into
volume sets. Volume sets can contain a mix of disk
device types and can be extended by adding volumes.
Within a volume set, files of any organization type can
span multiple volumes. Files can be allocated to the set
as a whole (the default) or to specific volumes within
the set. Optionally, the system manager can allocate
portions of indexed files to specific areas of a single
disk or to specific volumes in a volume set.
The system manager can place quotas on a disk to control the amount of space individual users can allocate.
Quota assignment is made by UIC and can be controlled
for each individual volume set in the system (or for each
individual volume if the volume is not part of a set).
The system manager can cache disk structure information in memory to reduce the I/O overhead required
for file management services. Although not required to
do so, users can preallocate space and control automatic allocation. For example, a file can be extended
by a given number of blocks, contiguously or noncontiguously, for optimal file system performance.
The system applies software validity checks and checksums to critical disk structure information. If a disk is
improperly dismounted because of user error or system
failure, the system rebuilds the disk’s structure information automatically the next time the disk is mounted.
The system detects bad blocks and prevents their reuse
once the files to which the blocks were allocated are
deleted. On DIGITAL Storage Architecture (DSA) disks,
the disk controller detects and replaces bad blocks automatically.
The system provides 255 levels of named directories
and subdirectories whose contents are alphabetically ordered. Device and file specifications follow HP conventions. Users can use logical names to abbreviate the
specifications and to make application programs device
and file name independent. Users can assign a logical
name to an entire specification, to a portion of a specification, or to another logical name.
OpenVMS supports multivolume magnetic tape files
with transparent volume switching. Access positioning
is done either by file name or by relative file position.
E-BUSINESS AND INTEGRATION TECHNOLOGIES
