MiniMerge support has been available for many years with OpenVMS host-based volume shadowing, so long as you had MSCP controllers (eg: HSC, HSJ, or HSD) which supported the Volume Shadowing Assist known as “Write History Logging”. If you are interested in mini-merge and similar technologies, please see the Fibre Channel webpage and the information available there: o http://www.openvms.compaq.com/openvms/fibre/ 5-59 System Management Information Mini-Merge support was originally intended to be controller-based and was expected with HSG80 series storage controllers and was expected to require ACS 8.7 and OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1. Host-based Mini-Merge (HBMM) is now available for specific OpenVMS releases via a shadowing ECO kit, and is also present in OpenVMS V8.2 and later.
