Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book covers not only included OpenVMS commands and utilities, but also automation tools that are not supplied as part of OpenVMS. Users new to system management will find the sections on console details, startup, shutdown, software installation, and licensing particularly helpful. Even experienced system managers can use this book to check against their own practices or as a reference."-Michael D. Duffy, OpenVMS software engineer.


"This book is much more than a technical guide to managing OpenVMS systems. It covers key OpenVMS system management concepts in a form that describes what operations need to be performed, why they need to be performed, and the commands used to perform them."-Gaitan D'Antoni, Technical Architect for Application Development Technology , HP OpenVMS Systems Group

3.0 out of 5 stars Tool for beginner level system managers, October 3, 2000

This review is from: OpenVMS System Management Guide (HP Technologies) (Paperback)

This book was a great help for me as a programmer trying to become a system manager for Vms (a new operating system for me). It gave me the bare basics I would need to know inorder to get to a good start learning vms. This book is not for an advanced systems administrator, but it is just right for a beginner. The chapter on system integrity monitoring was really good. It talks about the uses for the monitor command. It also talks about monitoring the system for hardware errors. The book contains very little on tcp/ip and its uses in the vms realm.
