self-contained, intelligent, mass storage subsystem that lets computers
in an OpenVMS Cluster environment share disks.
The disk on which you install or upgrade the operating system can
be connected to one of these systems (for example, an HSV or HSG).

InfoServer
|
A
general-purpose disk storage server. On OpenVMS I64 systems, the
InfoServer is a software application. Systems connected to the
same local area network (LAN) can boot the
OpenVMS operating system from a virtual drive (instead of the local
drive) using the InfoServer software.
|
Local drive
|
A
drive on your computer system, such as a CD, DVD, or disk drive
(hard drive), that is connected directly to the computer. If you
have a standalone computer, it is likely that all drives connected
to the computer system are local drives.

the OpenVMS operating system and the installation and other procedures
described in this manual.
