I would think that my CD is somehow corrupted/damaged, but I've done a checksum comparison with someone else and found that my .iso copy is the same as theirs.

When trying to install VMS onto a new virtual system, I'm getting this error:

Has anyone else seen this? I do see the FILESTRUCT erorr... I did request that the system disk be ODS-5. I guess I should try the installation again with ODS-2 instead.

Well, with ODS-2 selected instead, I get the same error. I guess that the FILESTRUCT error is a red herring.

Marc,

the failing virtual address 58585864 can be interpreted as an ASCII string: dXXX - does this indicate anything to you ?

Nope, that doesn't ring a bell. I've always envisioned a fresh VMS installation as somewhat of a black box experience, so I didn't look too closely at the arguments in the error message.

Try burning the CD to an ISO and installing from the ISO.

What version of FreeAXP?

I'm using version 1.3.0.351.

This is already an ISO (which I have to use because this is a virtual XP system running on ESXi which doesn't have direct access to a CD-ROM drive).

I thought that this problem sounded familiar when I posted it. I checked my old e-mail and saw that I did indeed run into a similar problem when using a different AXP emulator, although it failed at a different point much later during the installation.

I don't know whether something is wrong with my ISO file (and, thus, my CD), or if my installation techniques have some sort of glitch in them.

I've got a VMS V7.3 disc lying around. I'll try that and see how that behaves.

Installing OpenVMS from my V7.3-1 disc seems to have worked just fine... at least the installation part.

It finished installing, rebooted, asked about the cluster configuration, ran AUTOGEN, rebooted, and now it won't boot any longer, claiming:

%APB-F-MOUNT, failed to mount volume

halted CPU 0

halt code = 5
HALT instruction executed
PC = 200038c8
warning -- HWRPB is invalid
>>>

Edited to add...

I just tried to reinstall VMS from the 7.3-1 disc, answering "No" to the cluster question, but the end result was the same. After the AUTOGEN step during the final installation steps, it reboots, and the resulting DKA0: disk is unbootable due to this same error.

I think I've identified the problem with both of these situations (both the hobbyist V8.3 and the older V7.3-1 distributions). It seems somehow related to the size of the disk onto which I was trying to do the installation.

When I first tried, I was using a freshly created RZ59 disk image, and that caused the failures listed above.

I tried using a much smaller RZ58 image, also freshly created, and things worked much better with both installation discs with both installations completing successfully.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the 9GB disk image, but there seems to be something going on.

In case it matters, these disk images are on an NTFS volume, so the magic 4 GB file size limitation should be an issue. This is on a Windows XP SP3 system.

Edited to add...

As another small data point, the V8.3 disc installed just fine using an RZ29 disk.

I've been trying to recreate the problem with the RZ29 image without success. Are you using FreeAXP to create the image, or a different tool?

First, I see you say RZ29, but that's one that worked for me. It failed with the RZ59 disk volume.

I did allow FreeAXP to create the volume. I set it up in the configuration utility, and then when I started the virtual machine, it then paused while it set up the volume, and then continued giving me my new DKA0: device.

and the conclusion is???

I am getting exactly the same error when attempting to use the RZ59

I tried the RZ29 and it installed fine.

I have yet to try a custom size or some of the other sizes.

Tested with VMS 7.3 iso and RZ59. No problem. Will run more tests as time permits.

Hiya,
Was there a problem established/fixed with this please? I'm using FreeAXP x86 v2.1.0.412 (Oct 20 2011 11:59:55) with OpenVMS Alpha v8.3 and getting a crash of the installation procedure very similar to the original poster:

This is using the RZ59 9.1GB disk. The disk was created by FreeAXP itself rather than by MIM (a MIM created disk gave similar problems, but at a different point in the installation.)

AMD Athlon II X2 240 processor, Windows XP Pro SP3, 2GB physical memory.
The CD that I was using to install VMS boots happily and was functional enough to be able to do an image backup onto a disk image on the PC's hard drive.

Sorry, I've just told a fib - it was the 9.1GB RZ1DF-CB that I was using, NOT the RZ59.smiley

Is this actually a bug in the AlphaServer 400 itself? The SPD that I've just looked at has a maximum disk size of 4.3GB - about right for the time that the system was available for purchase.
Is there a limitation in the hardware or firmware which means it doesn't like bigger disks?

The disk size should not be an issue. Here are a few things to try:

- If using an ISO, try installing from the CD.
- If using a CD, try installing from an ISO image.
- If possible, try the installation from a 64-bit edition of FreeAXP.

We have been unsuccessful in reproducing this problem on x86 or x64 versions of FreeAXP and Avanti, so your feedback is appreciated.

One other thing I could try is building the 8.3 installation on an x86 system exactly like you are if you can provide the answers you are using to the installation questions.

The problems mentioned here, particularly the access violations, remind me a bit of problems I ran into fairly recently with a DS10 of mine.

Hi Bruce,

As requested.
Note that after the system was shut down I rebooted from the VMS Alpha distribution and tried to mount the disk that I had attempted to install VMS on. The system reported that the home block was not found on the volume.
The installation is from an image file on the PC. Running from a real VMS distribution gives the same crash at the same percent complete.

Best wishes
Steve

If you plan to use DECnet, SCSNODE must be the DECnet Phase IV
node name, or the DECnet-Plus (Phase V) node synonym.

If you have multiple OpenVMS systems, the SCSNODE on each system
must be unique.

Enter SCSNODE: csdsva

If you plan to use DECnet, SCSSYSTEMID must be set based on the
DECnet Phase IV address.

Do you plan to use DECnet? (Yes/No) [Yes]

DECnet Phase IV addresses are in the format

DECnet_area_number.DECnet_node_number

DECnet_area_number is a number between 1 and 63.
DECnet_node_number is a number between 1 and 1023.

If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.


Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address: [1.1] 1.987

SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 2011.

This was calculated as follows:

(DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)


Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is -0:00.
Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is 1:00.

The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).

This time zone supports daylight saving time.
Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): no

Enter the Time Differential Factor [-0:00]:

NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = 0:00

Is this correct? [Y]:
