A day in the life of an OpenVMS systems specialist. Articles and tutorials on Systems Management and Programming for OpenVMS.
For multi-area RMS files that span disks, you still must use bound volume sets. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to specify a filename per area?
It's about time that we standardised on a centralised monitoring tool. Looks like we are going NimSoft.
Sorting out path priorities on a Continuous Access implementation.
Resolving key/value mismatches between clusters for rightslist identifiers is a really good idea.
I've corrected and released ACLSEARCH X01-05, available on the downloads page.
My hosting provider has just notified me that an operating system upgrade will be occuring in the next couple of days (wish they could be more specific). If the site goes down, you now know what's happening.
Time to go and ensure my backups are up-to-date...
A quick DCL hack to display which CPU is managing each fastpath capable device.
A few new programming examples have been added to the site. They are for the following services: sys$get_arith_exception, sys$gettim_prec, and sys$power_control.
A second disaster recovery test was performed over the weekend. While we still have some niggling little problems (accessing the EVA's console from the test network, for example), everything worked flawlessly. I now have the recovery time down to approximately 40 minutes (which is a better deal that something like 20 hours when we did this with tape restores).
Yesterday we successfully tested part of our DR plan. This is the bit that restores the major ERP system to functionality. Without this system we're dead in the water.
