378 HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP RAID Manager: User’s Guide
Porting notice for OpenVMS
Introduction
RM uses the UNIX domain socket for IPC (Inter Process Communication).
While OpenVMS does not support the AF_UNIX socket, RAID Manager
uses the Open VMS mailbox driver for inter-process communication
between RAID Manager commands and the HORCM daemon.
Requirements and restrictions
Version of OpenVMS
RM uses CRTL, and needs the following version to support the ROOT
directory for POSIX:
• OpenVMS Version 7.3-1 or later
• The CRTL version must be installed before running RM.
SYS$POSIX_ROOT
You need to define the POSIX_ROOT before running RAID Manager
Example: $ DEFINE/TRANSLATION=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL)
SYS$POSIX_ROOT "Device:[directory]"
Mailbox driver
You need to redefine LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX in the
LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
table as shown below.
