SHC - SYSTEM HEALTHCHECK for OpenVMS - V1.1 CD
                           RELEASE NOTES

The SHC Data Collection Kit is used to collect data from a VAX node or cluster
running OpenVMS V5.0 to V6.2, or running OpenVMS AXP V1.5, V6.1 or V6.2. 
The collected data must be copied to tape and returned to the Digital CSC for 
analysis.

You will be asked to specify a disk on which the SHC collector will be
installed. If the system is a cluster, you should use a disk that is mounted
cluster-wide in order to collect data from every node in the cluster. 

The disk must have sufficient free space to store the data collector software
and the collected data. The approximate free space needed can be computed
using the following formula:

   Number of free blocks needed = 4000 + (number of nodes x 2000) + (number
                                  of user accounts on each SYSUAF * 3)


The files that make up the data collection package will be contained in a new
top level directory on this disk called [SHC]. 

The data collection process is started by setting default to this directory
and running the HEALTHCHECK command procedure as follows:

        $ set default disk:[shc]             (where 'disk' is the disk you will
	$ @healthcheck                        specify in the installation
                                              procedure)
 
A menu of options will be presented to allow collection of data, the transfer
of the collected data to tape, and the deinstallation of the data collection
package.
