Anyone managed to get Python working on Integrity? I keep getting this error:
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image LIBBZ2_SHR32
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found RHESUS$DKA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]LIBBZ2_SHR32.EXE;
(during the install - if I ignore the error, it gives me that when I try to run Python. I've installed LIBBZ2 already...)

Did any of you guys who are using that try running DECnet and/or
Multinet/UCX/etc on it? I notice that the release notes say "WARNING:
Ethernet adapter, which is assigned to CHARON, must not be used by
third-party programs." Does "third party programs" include the host Linux
OS and can I interpret that as meaning that you need a separate, dedicated,
Ethernet card for the Charon-AXP? Everything else looks pretty
straightforward...
Thanks again,
Bob
I think the reason for using dedicated NIC is very simple: it's used in non-promiscuous mode and all the changes
to mac address/mcast filters made by guest system affect physical NIC and may conflict with host OS.
Also, if you want to talk IP, you get into problems with the host, which also talks IP on the same NIC. Confusion easily follows...

I interpreted it to mean that it wants a dedicated network interface that it will simply passthrough to the virtual Alpha.
I wonder whether you could get away with setting up a pseudo network interface and have Linux manage sharing the physical interface.

I was checking up on the status of the project a couple days ago. It looks like development has largely stopped as the lead developer is now working on a commercial product.

I'm looking for an Alpha emulator that runs under Linux. Simh doesn't do
it (no Alpha emulation) and Charon-AXP doesn't, AFAIK, run on a Linux host.
Are there any other Alpha emulators out there?
I'm using CHARON-AXP/ES40 NCE (http://www.stromasys.ch/downloads/alpha-virtualization/charon-axp-nce) for ES40 emulation.
It works fine, but requires Linux/amd64 and at least 2xCPU (or DualCore CPU) machine.
I tried to use emulator from www.es40.org, but it didn't even start :)
I've installed VMS onto it, and it was... "neat" but also SLOW AS HELL... Not to complain, it was a cool experience... I get the impression from the site though, that the project is dead which is a shame...

Not exactly a HECnet specific question, but there are lots of HECnet
people out there running emulation, so I figure you guys might know :-)
Thanks,

There is CHARON-AXP NCE (Non-Commercial, Educational) that purportedly runs on x64 Linux. I tried it briefly, but wasn't able to finagle it to run properly with a blank disk to install OpenVMS onto it. I didn't try their preinstalled disk image.
You can find it at www.charon-axp.com, click on Downloads, then Alpha Virtualization on the left, and then CHARON-AXP NCE.
