Isn't this where a VUP comes into play?

Why would you want to cross operating systems at this stage?  I'd think 
it would be better to stick with OpenVMS.

These two tests seem to fall back to VUPs to me.

"x86-64 standard HW" seems like a misnomer to me.  A LOT of different 
things can fall into that broad description, anything from a low end 
college student notebook from 10 years ago to the contemporary 
virtualization power house system.
