• HP OpenVMS System Management I: Essentials for Established Systems (U3724S)
• or equivalent knowledge

Audience
OpenVMS System Managers

Benefits to you
This course covers tasks to create new OpenVMS Systems. These tasks include installing the OpenVMS and layered products software, setting up the security environment, and customizing the system. The course also covers post installation tasks, such as registering licenses and configuring the network and cluster environment. This course involves the students in relevant exercises that reinforce the lectures and gives students the application of the lectures so that they can install and configure a new OpenVMS installation.

Next Steps

• Managing Complex HP OpenVMS Systems (U3726S)
• HP OpenVMS System Performance Management (U3727S)
• TCP/IP Services for HP OpenVMS (U3728S)

Course Objective
This goal of this course is to teach how to configure and manage an OpenVMS environment
on Alpha and Integrity servers, configure it into a network and cluster environment and perform other post installation tasks to help student became proficient system managers. However, it is not a goal in this course to make students network managers.
