CD Drive Recommendation  



HP recommends that a CD drive be available for each instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy computing environment. If you plan to use multiple system disks in your OpenVMS Galaxy, a CD drive per instance is helpful for upgrades and software installations.

If your OpenVMS Galaxy instances are clustered together and use a single common system disk, a single CD drive may be sufficient because the CD drive can be served to the other clustered instances. For operating system upgrades, the instance with the attached CD drive can be used to perform the upgrade.
