No special
installation procedures are required to run OpenVMS Galaxy software.
Galaxy functionality is included in the base operating system and
can be enabled or disabled using the console command and system parameter
values described later in this chapter.
For more information about installing the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system, see the HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
OpenVMS Galaxy Licensing Information In a Galaxy environment, the OPENVMS-GALAXY license units
are checked during system startup and whenever a CPU reassignment
between instances occurs.
If you attempt to start a CPU and there are insufficient OPENVMS-GALAXY
license units to support it, the CPU remains in the instance's configured
set but it is stopped. You can subsequently load the appropriate license
units and start the stopped CPU while the system is running. This
is true of one or more CPUs.
