[HECnet] CHIMP up - now with OpenVMS 8.4

[Sampsa Laine]

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.

Oh!   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.

Like I said, that isn't true, I misread the documentation, actually I was reading the wrong document :)

But when I tried to launch the initiator on CHIMPY, it crashed, hard. Took out the box and rebooted.

Then again, I suppose this is what field tests are for :)

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..

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.
