Hi There!
Actual we operate about 40 VMS 6.2 systems (SIMH-version 3.2.1) on
RedHat Linux Enterprise Ed. 3.0 and all works fine..
Now we are trying to replace our hardware (HP ML370 G4 with DL385), with
te goal to run 4 VAXen instead of 2 on each server.
After downloading and compiling the V3.5.0 our tests pointed out, that
the disks on rqb, rqc, and rqd Controller
are not available at ">>>"-prompt.
Our config:
---part of vax.ini---
; enable controllers
set rqb ena
;
; define disk drives
set rq0 rauser=200
set rq1 rauser=4500
;
set rqb0 rauser=1000
set rqb1 rauser=3000
;
; attach disk drives
att rq0 /vms/v3.5.0/BIN/page.dsk
att rq1 /vms/v3.5.0/BIN/recover.dsk
;
att rqb0 /vms/v3.5.0/BIN/user.dsk
att rqb1 /vms/v3.5.0/BIN/data.dsk

Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Michael Schaffer
PS: we tryed both images (v3.2.1 & v.3.5.0 compiled on Intel Xeon and
AMD Opteron) on both systems,
the v3.5.0 image lost the disks on each system, the v3.2.1 instead works
fine...
