<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello SIMH supporters,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to run SIMH and Vax
emulator with network support on-top of one rx1620 integrity
server (2 socket - 2 cores ) with OpenVMS V8.4 UPD600 but I encountered
some problems. I have downloaded the new pcap library from site <A
href="http://9track.net/simh/pcap">http://9track.net/simh/pcap</A> and simh
V3.8-1. Then I have modified the descrip.mms file as the site 9track
suggests.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm able to build correctly the libpcap library and
the Vax 3900 emulator without errors. Under SIMH environment I'm able to list
and to attach the network adapter ("show xq eth" and "attach xq eth1"), but
unfortunately if I do boot the OpenVMS Vax V7.3 environment and
I make the network protocols startup the
network doesn't work (protocols used : SCS, Decnet, LAT and
TCP/IP - all correctly configured). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have stopped all the protocols on the adapter I
have dedicated to SIMH (EIB0:) on Integrity side and I see only the protocol
"USER" under "SDA> Show Lan" output when I start the Vax
emulator.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can you tell me if anyone have tested the SIMH
with the network support under OpenVMS Integrity V8.4 or under other
OpenVMS I64 version ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is this a known problem ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Furthermore SIMH Vax emulator builded with
network support, random does crash the Integrity server
(CPUSPINWAIT).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any hints ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
