OpenVMS Itanium (I64)/Alpha/VAX SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT


			COURSE DESCRIPTION

	This course will teach the commands and methods needed to setup
	and manage an OpenVMS Itanium, Alpha, or VAX platform system. The 
	course will also use a problem solving approach in the lab exercises	    
	to teach system managers advanced topics for long-term mangement of 
    	an OpenVMS system.


			COURSE OBJECTIVES

	On completion of this course, a system manager should be able to
	install, update, and boot the OpenVMS operating system;  set up
	user accounts and directories;  prepare queues for use; perform
	backups for integrity and performance reasons; monitor the system
	for performance and do basic hardware and software errors analysis.
