VMS Help V73 Features, Associated Products Features, DECram (Alpha)  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    DECram Version 3.0 supports the OpenVMS for Alpha platform only.
    The following are the new features that can be found in this
    release:

    o  In DECram for OpenVMS Alpha Version 3.0, DECram's capability
       supports the use of shared memory for creation of RAM disks in
       an Adaptive Partitioned MultiProcessing (APMP) environment.
       This environment is also know as Compaq Galaxy Software
       Architecture.

    o  On OpenVMS Version 7.2-1H1 or higher, the limit on the DECram
       file size has been extended to 4,294,967,296 blocks.

    o  DECram for OpenVMS Version 3.0 is fully compatible with
       DECram Version 2.3. There can be any combination of these
       two versions of DECRam in a VMScluster.

    o  Multiple DECram devices can be members of a Volume Shadowing
       for OpenVMS shadow set and can be served by Mass Storage
       Control Protocol (MSCP) or QIO served.

    o  Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS will support shadow sets composed
       of DECram devices and other disk class devices.

    o  A new DECram command interface (DECRAM>) can be used for
       creating, initializing, and mounting DECram disks.

    DECram Version 3.0 and supporting documentation are included in
    the OpenVMS Version 7.3 CD-ROM in the [.DECRAM_030] directory.
