OK guys (and gals)... it's been a while for me, but I have two AlphaServer4100s (EV5s) that I have LAVC clustered (No CI Adapter yet), and I have downloaded a boatload of freeware to my Dell (XP PRO) laptop. I dont have direct network connectivity for the VMS boxes yet, so I have to use the PC to download the media.
I got Apache from HP last night, and cut a CD of the compressed product install. That unziped(?) the files fine, but when I input:
$ Product Install with the product name, it says it cant find the blasted thing. I've been a systems manager for years, but have had a 7 year lapse, and dont remember what the fix is.
Thanks for the info, but what patch needs to be installed.
Compaq, now HP have got to have the most convoluted websites...
A simple listing of Patches by name and what they address would be too much to ask from these simple minded UNIX/Windows types...
then the directory for the version of VMS that you are running.
For example for V7.3-2 then you want
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V7.3-2/VMS732_PCSI-V0300.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE

malmberg December 12 2017 HPE only makes the most current version of OpenVMS Alpha / IA64 /VAX available to hobbyists. When I had access to the Alliance 1 program it was the same. No public downloads are allowed by HPE.

malmberg September 10 2017 https://sourceforge.net/p /vms-ports/wiki/VMSInstal lation/ For the most part just use VMS 6.1 media instead of 7.3. But why run the older release?
DoeveR August 07 2017 Where can I find the write up on running VMS 6.1 using the simh emulator?
