PDP-11
Sold by DEC between 1970 and 1997 First real time process control computer in the industry sold in large quantities Several bus structures: UNIbus, Qbus, Massbus Cloned several times in the Eastern Block countries
SM-4, SM-1420, SM-1600, Elektronika BK-0010, DVK, UKNC (Soviet Union) SM-4, SM-1420, IZOT-1016 (Bulgaria) SM-1420 (East Germany) Mera (Poland) SM-4 (Hungary) I-102 (Romenia)

Several operating systems by DEC and others:

RSX-11: Real time process control OS with preemptive task scheduling

DOS/BATCH, IAS, P/OS, CAPS-11, RT-11, RSX-11, RSTS/E, Ultrix-11 ANDOS, MKDOS, MONECS, CSIDOS, TRIPOS, MUMPS, Unix V7, BSD, DEMOS (Soviet Union), TSX-Plus, Rumor (ABB)

If somebody is still using a PDP-11 today, it is because he could not migrate he is in great difficulties

VAX, a legend
Introduced at October 25th, 1977 Together with Virtual Memory System VMS or OpenVMS First commercially available 32 bit computer First installations in Carnegie Mellon University and CERN Made DEC the #2 computer manufacturer worldwide by 1982 Nightmare of any other computer manufacturer between 1980- 90 Shipped over 500,000 times worldwide USA DoD prohibited export into Eastern Block Cloned several times An entirely compatible family of computers with 100s of models Sold until 2000 The operating system OpenVMS has outlived its host platform

DEC users, what now?


Binary translation Native migration Virtualization

30-61-023-10 p 9

Binary translation
From VAX to ALPHA: Using OMSVA From ALPHA to Itanium: Using OMSAI Both delivered by Stromasys to HP, freeware Fastest and most inexpensive solution Does not need the source code However, some serious limitations apply, such as the availability of older languages on the target platform VMS only User-mode applications, only Does not allow for future enhancements on target platform VAX to Itanium needs two steps Will impact performance Not all applications are binary translatable
30-61-023-10 p 10

Copyright 2001-2011Stromasys SA

Native migration to a new platform


Produces native application on the target platform Almost every application can be migrated Partial redesign during migration allows for replacing the programming language, middleware, user interface and design Further development and maintenance on target platform May give a performance boost

However, will take long to implement


Presents serious risks (time, functionality, QA, re-certification) Source code needed

HW virtualization, the principle

Virtualization
Does not need the source code Replaces old HW by modern HW No significant migration efforts. Upgrades immediately, quickly, simply Inexpensive No risk Reduces computer footprint, energy consumption and cooling significantly Preserves current investments
Keeps current applications Keeps current business processes, no impact on day-to-day operations No re-training, no re-staffing, no re-certification

Increases performance

CHARON on VMware ESXi


Why two virtualization layers?
Market requirement for VMware support May help fulfilling some corporate data center policy requirements Allows mixing Windows or Linux CHARON with other operating systems on the same multi-core host

However, there is a performance price Restrictions apply with vMotion

If non of the above is required, then please use the multi-instance license feature of CHARON !

VMS clustering
NI clusters

Always possible, mixed or pure

Shared Disk Clustering, prerequisites Ethernet connection for the Lock Manager traffic Concurrent accessibility of the storage device Identical device designation for the storage device in all nodes

Copyright 2001-2011Stromasys SA

30-61-023-10 p 32

Tru64 clustering
Tru64 V4.X and V5.X Ethernet connection Concurrent access of shared SCSI disks Tru64 V4.X Production Server (Memory Channel) Clusters currently not supported Tru64 V5.X Shared SCSI disks must have identical WWIDs on all nodes Memory Channel Interconnect must be replaced with Ethernet Interconnect, which requires V5.1A

Why virtualization
Hardware is end-of-life Service costs have increased significantly Operational costs (e.g. energy consumption, footprint) are excessive Application rewriting and re-certification may be expensive & risky Experts and/or application source code not always available Automatic binary conversion to OpenVMS/IPF does not always work Market expects modern platforms Higher performance needs Tru64 Unix

30-61-023-10 p 34

Benefits
Replace old and expensive HW by modern HW Significantly reduce cost of ownership

Preserve current investments


Keep current applications Keep current business processes, no impact on day-to day operations No re-training, no re-staffing, no re-certification

Extend on new platforms, create room for future growth
