What's the sanest way to get an idea of disk usage by directory on VMS?
$ DIRECTORY /SIZE=ALL /GRAND [directory...]
It takes a while to collect the information, but once its done, you'll be presented with the total number of files and the total blocks (actually used and also allocated).

OK, not getting much further, just configured a single (FreeNAS) iSCSI target in:
SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]ISCSI$ISN_SERVERS.DAT
Then ran the startup, to no avail:
{RHESUS$} @sys$startup:ISCSI$INITIATOR_STARTUP
%ISCSI-E-LOAD, Error loading iSCSI execlet (status = c)
Oh well, I guess it's not to be.

BLEEP!!!! Alpha support for iSCSI was supposed to be in V8.4. I would say this is what happen when you dump most of VMS engineering and outsouce the work.

Looking for that name with Google yields a link to a page of the HP DSPP

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... :)

Thank you very much for your support. :) Now I'll wait to see if someone of
our group will volounteer to take care of this activity. If not, I'll do it
myself. Hope it will not take too much time to have the request acknowleged:
do you know when they'll close the evaluation period?
BTW, do you have both the Alpha and Itanium kits?
Bye,
G.
P.S.: did you receive my two-days-ago mail right about this topic?

I registered through the formal channel but as I'm not a proper DSPP partner / client, John gave me access as a hobbyist.
