    OpenVMS Version 7.3 contains Availability Manager Version 1.4.
    Soon after the release of OpenVMS Version 7.3, Availability
    Manager Version 2.0 will be announced on the following
    Availability Manager web site:

    http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/products/availman/

    Version 2.0 will include the following new features:

    o  A new internal infrastructure supports new operating system
       features more easily and quickly.

    o  To support NUMA or OpenVMS "RADs" and to provide preliminary
       support for Wildfire/Galaxy, the following features have been
       implemented:

       -  A new Memory view of OpenVMS Alpha V7.3 nodes displays
          RAD-related data.

       -  When monitoring OpenVMS Alpha V7.3 nodes, Availability
          Manager displays a new single-process memory tab called
          "RAD Counters."

       -  The CPU modes display includes the RAD for a CPU.

       -  The CPU process list shows the home RAD for each process.

       -  The Node summary display now includes the number of
          configured RADs, the system serial number, and the Galaxy
          ID of a node, if any.

    o  Displays now include additional switched LAN and NISCA data,
       when available.

    o  New user-defined event notifications have been implemented.

    o  A built-in browser now displays online help.

    o  A built-in Java runtime environment is now included. (In other
       words, you no longer need to install Java on the system.)

    o  ODS-5 file system support has been added.

    o  A new PGFLQUOTA process-level "fix" has been implemented.

    o  A simpler mechanism for site-specific configuration setup now
       exists.
