  • Best of the HP Customer Support Center
    VAX Emulator on HP’s Latest AlphaServer Products Extends Life of Legacy OpenVMS VAX Systems Robert L. Lyons Systems Consultant, Resilient Systems, Inc. Overview Strong synergies in the latest technologies from Hewlett-Packard and Software Resources International promise not only a reprieve for remaining OpenVMS VAX systems but also a clear path to 21st century platforms. OpenVMS VAX users can now take advantage of ever-faster chip speeds and massive storage platforms available on the latest HP AlphaServer systems. This article describes tests of the Software Resources International CHARON™-VAX/AXP Plus emulator on an HP GS1280, the most powerful of the recently released EV7-based AlphaServer systems. CHARON-VAX/AXP Plus emulates an OpenVMS VAX system to replace VAX hardware systems with modern OpenVMS Alpha systems. The emulator runs as an application on the Alpha system, providing a ‘virtual’ OpenVMS VAX system that can directly execute OpenVMS VAX system operatives, the layered software, and user applications without requiring conversion. The tests show that the combined strengths of the CHARON-VAX/AXP Plus and the HP GS1280 AlphaServer provide server consolidation and multi-architecture cluster support while significantly enhancing the performance of OpenVMS VAX system functions and applications running on the Alpha hardware. The tests demonstrate that a 16-way GS1280 running multiple instances of CHARON-VAX/AXP Plus can deliver the equivalent of an OpenVMS VAX 3198 or VAX 7610 on each GS1280 Alpha processor, while achieving nearly linear scaling. In addition, the software/hardware configuration minimizes the floor space required: only one Alpha footprint for up to 15 VAX systems emulated on the 16-way GS1280.
