Running OpenVMS in the Emulator

From ES40 Emulator

Jump to: navigation,

We explain here how you can start the emulator and how you can boot OpenVMS after initial installation.

Remark: You first need to configure the SRM Firmware as explained here.

Contents

1 Start the
emulator

2 Start the console via
telnet

3 Booting the
system

4 Booting the system the
first time

4.1 Starting
Autogen

4.2 System
shutdown

4.3 Automatic
reboot

5 Example OpenVMS
commands

5.1 Login

5.2 Show System

5.3 Show Device

5.4 Authorize

[edit] Start the emulator

Better run at lower priority to allow other host programs to use CPU time.

nice ./es40

serial0(serial): Waiting for connection on port 21264.

[edit] Start the console via telnet

Remark: The port 21264 was choosen on purpose. Actually this was the first EV6 Alpha processor CPU model number.

telnet 0 21264
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
This is serial port #0 on AlphaSim

[edit] Booting the system

After the initial installation, you can boot from the new system disk dka0.

P00>>>b dka0
(boot dka0.0.0.3.0 -flags 0)
block 0 of dka0.0.0.3.0 is a valid boot block

[edit] Booting the system the first time

When the system is booted for the first time, it will

configure itself
