My Amazon Kindle DX just arrived and it's rather good for reading PDFs, so was going to put the whole VMS 8.3 and 7.3 docsets on it. Any idea where I can grab all of them in one place, or do I have to download them one by one from the HP site? Sampsa

CHIMP up - now with OpenVMS 8.4

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.

I guess I read through everything you wrote too fast! :-) I hope they get it right, and I also hope that when they get it working it will work with things such as FreeNAS, as that could lower my electricity bill.

Took out the box and rebooted. Then again, I suppose this is what field tests are for :) Sampsa On 20 Jan 2010, at 15:24, Zane H.

I will potentially try to do an upgrade on RHESUS this weekend - I'll let you guys know how I got along.. 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. Zane -- | Zane H.

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, G. http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/dspp/menuitem.863c3e4cbcdc3f3515b49c1… . Here's the EFT web page: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvmsft/

Bye, G. P.S.: did you receive my two-days-ago mail right about this topic?
