Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
is now available on the Web at the following URL:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/availman/
The main new feature of this kit is support for OpenVMS V8.2 on both the I64 and Alpha platforms. Other new features and changes are described in the release notes.
A couple of additional notes:
o If you are running on OpenVMS Version 6.2 through Version 7.2-n, and you have installed the Availability Manager,
you will need to install the Availability Manager Data Collector Version 2.4 before you install the Version 2.4-1 Data Collector.
This is necessary to correct various irregularities that existed in previous Availability Manager kits.
o Because the Availability Manager Data Collector for I64 is part of the Enterprise Operating Environment (EOE) licensing tier, there are upcoming changes in how this software will be distributed.
See the I64 licensing link near the top of the Availability Manager home page, and the Product Support page farther down on the home page.
Thank you for using our products. If you have any questions or comments, please let the team know.
The Availability Manager Team

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
For those reading this and wondering what it is I urge you to go read the doc at the the web site referenced. Availability Manager is the sucessor to AMDS and allows realtime resource montitoring and fixes to VMS systems from a VMS (or windows) system.
Purely Personal Opinion

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
I am currently using amds avail/motif to monitor over 20 vms boxes. I just installed and tried avail/avail, and it uses 40-75% of my pws/600 cpu (vs about 1% for avail/motif).
The display also won't show multiple groups at a time. Anyone have any ideas about how to mitigate these problems?
I tried setting the 'fast JVM' setting, (via logical name), but it didn't seem to do anything.
Since it looks the future is that we will
be stuck with this, does anyone have any ideas about how to mitigate this? In particular, I'd like to customize it to get rid of the warnings display completely (the bottom pane of the main screen), if that would improve performance.
By copying the vms 7.3-2 library to the 8.2 name, I'm able to monitor 8.2 hosts (some of the detailed stuff gets mangled, but I'm mostly interested in the one line display) with avail/motif, but this doesn't work for itanium.
I'm not sure where HP is going with stuff like this.

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
on a (quite old) Alphaserver 2100 (5/300) AVAILMAN uses 10-50% CPU when monitoring 6 systems. That's why I use a PC as frontend and I think that's the way HP wants us to work :-(

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
could it be the case that the CPUs are occupied with memory management tasks? Java *is* resource-hungry, but in my experience more for memory than for the CPU.
Does http://h71000.www7.hp.com/ebusiness/OptimizingSDKGuide/OptimizingSDKGuide.html apply to systems having the RTE only? Some of the basic recommendations should hold.
cu,
Martin

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
Here are some answers to some of the concerns brought up so far.
True, Java takes more resources than a complied C program using Motif, so some of the resource consumption is due to that. However, some of it is due to the program itself. The team here has tried to run various Java performance analyzers with a small amount of success to find various AM-related performance issues. Now with the profiler that comes with NetBeans, the team will pursue this avenue more in earnest now that the port to I64 is done, etc. With work in this area, the performance and hopefully the memory footprint will be less.
As far as the OptimizingSDKGuide is concerned, I haven't looked at it, but if it mentions things about accounts and logical names, etc., then it should help. Just remember that AM does very little file I/O (just to the log files), so any I/O-related improvements aren't going to help.
I hope that this perspective helps.

Re: Announcing Availability Manager V2.4-1
The file I see is in PCSI compressed format; try renaming it to .PCSI$COMPRESSED and PCSI should handle it, if it is recent enough.
