Well I'm not running that anywhere, so I can't help you with that, I'm
sorry.   My one Itanium2-based system will not (or so I'm told) run VMS.
What does your Itanium2 run, then?
Not a damn thing. ;)   It hasn't been powered on in about two years.   I
installed Linux on it, but it was slower than pissing tar.
Here's a crazy idea: Install Windows Server I64, and put a bunch of SIMH instances on it..

I have a ZX2000 with a 1.4Ghz processor and 1GB RAM that runs Windows 2000 server quite nicely.   On my "To do" list is converting it to OpenVMS but first I have to get the 100GB of shared files off to another file server.
Eeeeek. 2000.   If only NT 4 ran on Itanium. ;)

Well, it came with an XP install, too.   ;)   Pretty sure that Itanium is too new for NT.   Although I did have an Alpha that ran NT at a place I once worked a long, long time ago in a galaxy far away.
My "To do" list is embarrassingly long.
