Noob question: Changing the Time Zone on my VMS boxes?

by sampsa＠mac.com

Having (with some difficulty) connected GORVAX and RHESUS to an Arcsight log monitoring beast (think SAP meets Splunk) I notice all my events' end times are off by a consistent number of hours.. I believe this is due to the time zone info (which I never bothered to look into) being wrong. How do I change the time zone of a VMS box? Sampsa

Xenophobia is not the same as lack of experience. The VMS development team in the USA is extinct. The guys in India are first rate software engineers (they ought to be to find their way in the VMS codebase) but their perspective on how the os should behave and what they observe is markedly different. Read the discussion in comp.os.vms on changes in the DIRECTORY command. The Indian team made changes that are probably more in line with newer commands but broke old code that had been stable for decades. The bottomline is that I expect my alphas to stay on 8.3, probably as long as the VAXes will remain on 7.3. I have no IA64 systems (luckily, reading Sampsas problems :-) so no ideas there other than that IA64/VMS 8.3 is the production quality release at this point in time.

Hobbyists with a VAX run everything for fun but if the VAX is still used for serious work it'll run 7.3. I'm clueless about what is en vogue in Itanium land.

When I spoke to Stephen Hoffman about which version of Alpha OpenVMS to install I was told to stick to 8.3 unless I wanted to get into a large amount of patching. I think the quality of 8.4 probably reflects the wholesale move of OpenVMS development from the USA to India. Please don't take that as xenophobia - merely a reflection on the loss of a good deal of long-time VMS talent. Hopefully future releases will benefit from the increasing knowledge of the new team. IA64 VMS, AFAIK, is a similar scenario. Regards, Mark

Mark, If you still have access to the HP patch database then I'd suggest these OS versions: VAX/VMS 7.3 Alpha/VMS. 7.3. 7.3-2 8.3 8.4 IA64/VMS. 8.3 8.4 TCP/IP : all versions -please- The reasoning behind the VMS versions is simple.

Can we hook this up to a VAX or something?

RT-11 could fit on tiny things. I remember V2 fitting with lots of room to spare on a DECnet (TU56 -- 578 kbytes). And if memory serves I could fit in (SJ flavor) along with Basic on an RC11 (128 kbytes), on our Physics department 11/20. Yes, but VMB takes quite some space, and an RX01 is only 256 Kbytes...
