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.
