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 :^(
