Description
OpenVMS professionals have long enjoyed a robust, full-featured operating system running the most mission-critical applications in existence.
However, many of today's graduates may not yet have had the opportunity to experience it for themselves. Intended for an audience with
some knowledge of operating systems such as Windows, UNIX and Linux, Getting Started with OpenVMS introduces the reader to the OpenVMS
approach.
Part 1 is a practical introduction to get the reader started using the system. The reader will learn the OpenVMS terminology
and approach to common concepts such as processes and threads, queues, user profiles, command line and GUI interfaces and networking.
Part 2 provides more in-depth information about the major components for the reader desiring a more technical description. Topics include
process structure, scheduling, memory management and the file system. Short sections on the history of OpenVMS, including past, present,
and future hardware support (like the Intel Itanium migration), are included. OpenVMS is considered in different roles, such as a desktop
system, a multi-user system, a network server, and in a combination of roles.
Audience
New users of OpenVMS who need a practical guide to start getting familiar with the system. Computer professionals or undergraduate students
with familiarity with other modern operating systems, looking for a case study of an actual commercial system.
