VMScluster Systems for OpenVMS

This manual is a comprehensive guide for system managers on configuring, managing, and maintaining VAXcluster and VMScluster systems. It covers various interconnect configurations, including CI, DSSI, Local Area, FDDI, and mixed-interconnect systems. The document details how to ensure cluster integrity and security through connection management and a single security domain, along with procedures for setting up and managing shared resources such as disks, tapes, and cluster-wide queues. It also provides extensive information on preparing the operating environment, building and reconfiguring clusters, and troubleshooting common issues like boot failures, network problems, and port device malfunctions. A key focus is on achieving high availability, including the use of volume shadowing for data protection and redundant components for continuous operation.
