ask the wizard

VAX 7000-600 SMP upgrade?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I need to make a 7620 a 7630. The processor will come from a 7610 that I
have rolled into corner. What do I need to do besides contact my FE? Are
there licensing issues? Sysgen parameter changes? Anything else you can
think of? Long live VMS, it's great t
o be able to work with a real OS for a change.
 
Thank You

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact your hardware support organization for assistance with
  the hardware.
 
  Software licensing reference materials are available at:
 
    http://www.digital.com/info/software-licensing/
 
  Listings are also available in the License Unit Requirements Table
  (LURT) included with the OpenVMS installation and upgrade manual.
  In the case of the two systems in question:
 
                 ------ License types by code -------
                 --- OpenVMS ---    SIP    --- LP ---
                 A    B   C   D     E      F     I
  VAX 7000-620:  145  na  na  na    600    1800  1800
  VAX 7000-630:  167  na  na  na    600    2400  2400
 
  AUTOGEN will resolve parameter changes, unless limited by site-specific
  assignments in MODPARAM.DAT.
 
  You may or may not see improvements in overall performance, depending
  on the current system performance limiting factor(s) -- if the system
  CPU performance is the system-limiting factor, then the Wizard would
  expect to see improvements with additional CPUs.  If it is not the
  limiting factor, the Wizard would tend to expect lower (or possibly)
  no performance improvements with the addition of CPUs.
