Looking for that name with Google yields a link to a page of the HP DSPP
program about the 8.4 field test, in which they offer the opportunity to
become a field test site for the new OpenVMS version.
Sampsa, did you go through an formal request to HP or had some informal
contact with that John Egolf? I'm wondering if they will accept a poor
hobbyist as an official test site... :)
The address I've found with Google is http://tinyurl.com/fieldtest84
(shortened: the original is at the end of this message.)
Thank you very much,

There was a field test sign up page on hp.com, no idea of the URL anymore though.

Hi Guys,
Did I miss the announcement about where to get the field trial for 8.4
from? I'd signed up via the DSPP program, but not heard anything
subsequently.
I might have to fire up the IA64 now - it's bloody freezing in here!

Well my poking around ended as follows:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:ISCSI$INITIATOR_STARTUP.COM
**** OpenVMS Alpha Operating System E8.4 - BUGCHECK ****
** Bugcheck code = 000003C4: SSRVEXCEPT, Unexpected system service exception
** Crash CPU: 00000000 Primary CPU: 00000000 Node Name: CHIMP
** Highest CPU number: 00000003
** Active CPUs: 00000000.00000003
** Current Process: SYSTEM
** Current PSB ID: 00000001
** Image N?
So I'm guessing ISCSI on AXP is a work in progress... :)

Hmm, might have to have a quick poke around.

Alas, CHIMP is an Alpha, and the iSCSI kit is only supported on I64. I will potentially try to do an upgrade on RHESUS this weekend - I'll let you guys know how I got along..

Any idea how well iSCSI works? Will it work with something like FreeNAS?

Not had a play to be honest, might have to have a go though this weekend.

Hi! Where did you download 8.4? I've looked into the same place I told you
about the 8.3-1H1 Itanium version, but I found nothing. Is there some place
from which 8.4 can be downloaded without registering (and maybe paying) and
such? Please advice, because we are eager to have 8.4 in our DECnet! :)
Thank you very much!
G.
