[HECnet] CHIMP up - now with OpenVMS 8.4

[Sampsa Laine]

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... :)

Ignore this, turns out the ISCSI documentation I'm looking at is for the ISCSI TDK that was I64 only.

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..

I pulled down the 8.4 field test from HP and installed it on CHIMP, if anyone wants a play, let me know and I'll set up accounts.

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