I'm not looking for anything too in-depth. At the moment, I'm
mostly looking for something along the lines of "here are the
major components and how they fit together." I've got most
of an orange wall and a copy of the old software handbook,
but I'm not finding anything like that there. I know about
the VMS Internals and Data Structures book and if I have to
I'll find a copy, but I'm not really looking for something
that detailed anyway.
Thanks in advance,

As far as I know, there isn't anything online.
The books that come to mind are the following (in other words they're on
my shelf):
VMS Internals and Data Structures
VAX/VMS Operating System Concepts
VMS File System Internals
VAXcluster Principles
I think the Operating System Concepts might be what you're looking at, it
was updated in '97 as "OpenVMS Operating System Concepts" (unfortunately I
don't have a copy of the 2nd Ed.). Last I checked, it's very difficult to
get the last two books, it took me several years to get my copies. But
then getting copies of the latest I&DS books aren't exactly easy :^(
