An interesting OpenVMS project I led involved upgrading the hardware and operating system for Jaguar’s FVC system, which manages the dispatch of cars from the three production plants.
The old system was a DEC VAX running VMS 6.2, and I was tasked with modernising it due to the hardware no longer being supported.
I managed the installation of two Alpha 1200s as a cluster spanning two machine rooms, running OpenVMS 7.3. Additionally, I assisted the lead programmer in refactoring some of the Pascal code to ensure compatibility with the new system.
Upon completing the project, I provided comprehensive documentation and training to the local operations staff.
