The Question is:
The plan is to migrate everything on our Vax6620 to a VAX7630. We are also
going from HSC## architecture to HSZ52. Can you refer me to a valuable
source of information on this topic? Thanks - Nick
The Answer is :
Other than the usual steps involved with system tuning -- such as the
use of AUTOGEN with FEEDBACK and the determination of the appropriate
settings of process quotas and system parameters for the current (or
new) system -- this particular system and storage hardware change is
not of general significance to OpenVMS itself. Disks are disks, and
one SMP-capable VAX system is much like any other.
That said, you will likely see the names of storage devices change as
a result of this or similar storage upgrades. The OpenVMS Wizard would
recommend moving to the use of logical names rather than physical device
names, when you change your site-specific procedures and environment over
to the new environment. This includes placement of logical name
definitions (for applications or other parts of the site-specific
environment) in SYLOGICALS.COM or SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM or similar, and the
use of the DISK$volumelabel logical name that are created by the MOUNT
command -- rather than physical disk names.
