Sorry, I have nothing to run on it.   If you fix that problem, I'll
be very happy. :)

Which Integrity model is it???

  It's not.   Companies other than HP made Itanium2 machines, you know.
;)   It's an Intel SR870BN4, which I believe is the reference platform
for the Itanium2.   A good friend (a fairly hardcore VMS admin) told me
rather explicitly that VMS will not run on it.   That said, I've never tried.

  Should I try?   Do you have any tricks?   Or can you assist otherwise?
I'd love to run VMS on it.   I'll go put it in a rack *right now* if the
answer is yes.
