I am messing with FreeAXP to see if I can virtualize my existing Alpha 1000 and am having a bit of trouble getting the initial system loaded. I have been working with VMS for 30+ years so I am pretty familiar with image backups and setting up systems.
The issue I am having is that the target windows system doesn't have a CD/DVD drive and I only have TCPIP/FTP access between it and the Alpha. So I need to get a copy of the VMS Installation CD from the Alpha to some sort of container in the FreeAXP system so that I can boot standalone backup and restore the system disk.
I also have a similar question as to how best to get my image backup of the system disk to the FreeAXP system.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Bill |

Use a Windows or Linux system that does have a CD/DVD drive to create an ISO of the VMS installation CD and copy it to the target platform. |

Once I have an ISO of the CD, how do I get it to work with FreeAXP?
Also what about my other question about how best to get the image backup of the system disk into FreeAXP?
Thanks. |
