Description
Getting Started with OpenVMS System Management gives new VMS system managers a jumpstart in managing this powerful and reliable operating
system. Dave Miller describes the essentials of what an OpenVMS System Manager will have to manage. He defines areas of OpenVMS System
Management and describes why each is important and how it fits into the larger management task. Even though some OpenVMS management concepts
are unique (for instance quotas), many concepts (such as account creation) have counterparts in UNIX and Windows NT. So, wherever possible,
Miller points out to his readers the parallel to other systems.
The book is intended as a precursor to Baldwin's OpenVMS System Management
Guide and various OpenVMS documents. Thus it refers the reader to other books for the detailed management steps. Getting Started with
OpenVMS System Management is a great introduction to the material Steve Hoffman and Dave Miller are revising for the OpenVMS System Management
Guide, 2E.
Audience:
UNIX and Windows NT system administrators that are transitioning to OpenVMS system management. New users of OpenVMS who need a practical
guide to start getting familiar with the system. First time system managers with no experience who are approaching OpenVMS for the first
time.
