file sharing in OpenVMS Cluster? (VAX and Alpha)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Currently running VAX 6.2 and plan to mirgrate to
a ALPHA 8400, can files be shared in a
cluster by both the ALPHA system and the VAX system?
 

The Answer is :

 
  Yes, files and devices can be shared across OpenVMS platforms.
 
  In fact, an OpenVMS Cluster must share certain RMS files -- such as
  the SYSUAF and RIGHTSLIST files -- and this sharing operates regardless
  of the particular architecture of the OpenVMS system(s) involved.
 
  Here is the typical list of the system files that are shared among all
  members of an OpenVMS Cluster:
 
    SYSUAF
    SYSUAFALT
    SYSALF
    RIGHTSLIST
    NETPROXY
    NET$PROXY
    NETOBJECT
    NETNODE_REMOTE
    QMAN$MASTER files, including:
        QMAN$MASTER.DAT
        SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$JOURNAL
        SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$QUEUES
    LMF$LICENSE
    VMSMAIL_PROFILE
    VMS$OBJECTS
    VMS$AUDIT_SERVER
    VMS$PASSWORD_HISTORY
    VMS$PASSWORD_DICTIONARY
    NETNODE_UPDATE
    VMS$PASSWORD_POLICY
    LAN$NODE_DATABASE
 
  Some of these files may or may not exist at your site.
