RELEASE NOTES for the OpenView Performance Agent (OVPA) for OpenVMS
        ====================================================================

Restrictions
------------
This version of OVPA for OpenVMS has been tested with the OpenView Performance
Manager (OVPM) Version 5.00 and Version 6.00. It works with OVPM Version 4,
but HP does not recommend using OVPM Version 4 with this verson of OVPA.

The following OVPM display fields are not supported on OpenVMS at this time:
	- Disk ID is a unique ID on UNIX. Device name is a unique ID on
          OpenVMS and can be used in place of Disk ID. The Disk ID
          display shows up blank.
        - INODE is not applicable to OpenVMS.  HP is investigating an
          alternative metric.
 
    
Documentation Notes
-------------------
- If you have installed TDC clusterwide, the OVPA installation might not have
seen it. You must install TDC on EACH node that you install OVPA on.

- Many of the documents delivered with this version of OVPA for OpenVMS were
written for Linux; however, they can be used for OpenVMS. 

- Prior to installing an update to the TDC software from the TDC web site,
shut down OVPA (@sys$startup:ovpa$shutdown). Failure to do so prevents the
newly-installed TDC software from running correctly.

The TDC installation installs an updated version of the TDC execlet image into
SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES, and the newly-installed TDC software attempts to load
the updated execlet when it starts a collection.  That attempt is blocked
because the previous version of the execlet image is still in use.

The TDC collection operation continues; however, TDC is unable to gather most
process- and disk-I/O metrics.
