228.0. "8820s, 7610s (OpenVMS 5.5-2) w/ Alpha 3000?" by CHOWDA::GLICKMAN (writing from Newport,RI) Thu Mar 31 1994 18:57

    Hi,
    
    	My customer has a VAXcluster that as of next month will consist of
    2 8820s and 2 7610s running OpenVMS 5.5-2.  They are interested in
    using product like VAXcluster Console System on potentially an Alpha
    3000.  I put a similar note into the VCS notes conference and was
    pointed here.  Will the PolyCenter Console Manager be able to provide
    this functionality?
    
    Thanks,

    PCM will run on Alpha, both OpenVMS and OSF/1. If you're customer
    already has VCS, PCM will honor VCS licenses, thus no cost to your
    customer. If they want to run on OpenVMS/VAX, then they will have to
    upgrade to OpenVMS 6.0

    Do you mean the VAXcluster would have to upgraded to OpenVMS 6.0 so
    they could run PCM on the Alpha?

  No, we dont care what operating system or version the managed systems are  
  running.

  Dave meant that the system running Console Manager, if it were a VAX, would 
  have to be running at least V6.0 of OpenVMS. If Console Manager were running 
  on an AXP system, the minimum version would be V1.5 of OpenVMS or V1.3 OSF/1

Cheers,
Phil

    By the way, I also understand that the VCS licenses are only honored if
    you stay on the VAX platform. If you move to ALPHA you will have to buy
    new licenses.

  Well yes and no!! If you take advantage of the offers Digital currently has 
  for upgrading to AXP systems, apparently, your VCS licence will get changed 
  to a PCM one at no extra cost (Something to do with the Mammoth upgrade or 
  something!!)    

Cheers,
Phil
