Purpose of This Manual

This manual describes older features of PMDF for OpenVMS that are obsolete as of PMDF V6.2, and which can be removed in a future version of PMDF. The intended audience is PMDF system managers who are already using these features and have not yet migrated to newer PMDF facilities. This manual is provided as a convenience for such existing usages.

Apart from the command line configuration utilities which exist on both UNIX and OpenVMS platforms, most of the contents of this manual are only relevant to PMDF on OpenVMS.
