OpenVMS Management Station

penguin356 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:43:42 GMT

Per HP's website:

"OpenVMS Management Station for OpenVMS on Integrity Servers is provided only with OpenVMS I64 Operating Environments media kit."

I have my media kit which includes:
HP OpenVM Layered Products
HP Layered Products Library
HP OpenVMS Ver 8.3 for Integrity Servers
Operating Enviroment
HP Operating Enviroment Update
HP Services Tools V2.3
HP OpenVMS Open Source Tools V4.0
HP OpenVMS Freeware Version 8.0 (3 disks)
HP OpenVMS Integrity/Alpha Operating Environment Online Documentation Library

Does anyone know how I can find out if I actually have the product?

You may want to look for SYS$STARTUP:TNT$STARTUP or SYS$HELP:TNT*.REL*

The client version should be in SYS$COMMON:[TNT.CLIENT] or can be downloaded from the HP site.

The OpenVMS Management Station (codename: ARGUS) server components are automatically installed with the OpenVMS installation.

You need to start the server components by using @SYS$STARTUP:TNT$STARTUP.

The kit product name is TNT - this may be confusing ;-)

I may have spoke to soon.. I can get OpenVMS Management Station started, but can not connect to it from my XP box. This screenshot shows waht happens after I run
sys$startup:TNT$startup

Running TNT$STARTUP.COM creates a detached process, this is expected behaviour. This process should be listening on some TCPIP port for the client application to connect to.

Does the detached process disappear ? Check with SHOW SYSTEM looking for the process-id.

hi,

do you have a firewall between your pc and vms systems ? you will need port 441 open.
this is assuming you have installed the mmc snap-in for the management server on your pc.
found here :-

It's looking for an OMS license !

What kind of architecture is this ? What kind of OpenVMS OE license (FOE, EOE, MCOE) ?

Volker.

Re: OpenVMS Management Station

Volker Halle — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:44:48 GMT

The right to use the OpenVMS Management Station is only included in EOE and MCOE.

The HP website says:

FOE Customers can purchase OMS separately.

Volker.

It's an Integrity AH234A server runing OpenVMS 8.3. I am not sure what kind of software license we have.

Re: OpenVMS Management Station

Volker Halle — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:47:45 GMT

Look at $ SHOW LIC/BR OPENVMS*

As OMS is included in OPENVMS-I64-EOE and OPENVMS-I64-MCOE, you have to have OPENVMS-I64-FOE

Volker.

Re: OpenVMS Management Station

penguin356 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:51:19 GMT

I have FOE.. Do I need to purchase a license for OMS?

Re: OpenVMS Management Station

Volker Halle — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:58:22 GMT

Yes, FOE does not include the rights to run OMS (OpenVMS Management Station).

Check whether an upgrade to EOE may make more sense.

BTW, instead of attaching screen shots, you could also cut & paste the text from the terminal emulator window into a .TXT file and attach that file.
