I'm running Tru64 UNIX on FreeAXP. I am not sure how to relate a FreeAXP file to the appropriate UNIX file system for unmounting.

In the Alpha Configuration facility I have disk0.0 as an image file with a file name of 'Tru64 UNIX 5.1B Associated Products Volume 1.iso (RRD42)' and the CD-ROM box checked.

When I issue a df command I get the following:
# df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_domain#root 786432 249080 524480 33% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
usr_domain#usr 4300800 1668484 2359248 42% /usr
usr_domain#var 4300800 236142 2359248 10% /var

I want to unmount the *.iso file shown above. Issuing a 'sh dev' gives

>>>sh dev
dka0.0.0.6.0 DKA0 RRD42 4.5d

I basically don't know which usr_domain relates to the *.iso and what unmount command to issue.

Thanks

In your example, if you are running in multi-user mode booted from rz0/dsk0/dka0, you do not have the CD iso mounted.... therefore you cannot unmount it.

A 'showfdmn root_domain' will show the disk name for the root domain... usr_domain for the usr_domain and so on ... The result will probably be rz0x or dsk0x. And, if this is V5.x, a 'hwmgr -v d' will list the available disks and cdroms and show their names.

On all versions, 'scu sho edt' will show the scsi layout and disks as discovered at kernel boot.

Tru64 does not mount iso images 'automatically'. They may be mounted manually, or can be included in /etc/fstab for mounting at boot time (like an ordinary disk or partition).

Here is the output of the commands you suggested:

┌─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬─┐ V i r t u a l serial0
│F│r│e│e│A│X│P│ A l p h a on emulator ALPHA02 (128 Msmiley
└─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴─┘ x64 version 3.0.0.617

ff.fe.fd.fc.fb.fa.f9.f8.f7.f6.f5.
ef.df.ee.ed.ec.f4.eb.ea.e9.e8.e7.e6.....e5.

>>>showfdmn root_domain
showfdmn: No such command
>>>hwmgr -v d
hwmgr: No such command
>>>'scu sho edt
'scu: No such command
>>>

The *.iso file is residing on my WIndows desktop which is where the Alpha Configuration Utility is pointing. If I move this *.iso file and try and restart Tru64 UNIX I get this error:

"An error has occurred in FreeAXP:

DFL-F-NOFILE:cp(control).alpha(alpha(AS400)).pcibus(dc21071d).pci6(symbios).disk0.0(file):File does not exist or cannot be opened ... (snip)"

The path to the *.iso file is 'hardcoded' in the ALPHA02.cfg file:

pci6 = symbios
{
disk0.0 = file
{
image = "C:\Users\Paul\Desktop\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B - Disk 2 Associated Products Volume 1 [DEC Alpha]\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B - Associated Products Volume 1.iso";
}
disk0.1 = file
{
vendor = "DEC";
model_num = "RZ29B";
rev_num = "0016";
image = "H:\Tru64UNIX\DISK01.img";
autocreate_size = 4290600960;
}
}

So I'm not sure what to do next.

So :
# hwmgr -v d
HWID: Device Name Mfg Model Location
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3: /dev/dmapi/dmapi
4: /dev/scp_scsi
5: /dev/kevm
27: /dev/disk/dsk0c DEC RZ29B bus-0-targ-1-lun-0
28: /dev/random
29: /dev/urandom
33: /dev/disk/dsk1c DEC RZ58 bus-0-targ-0-lun-0 <<<===

The image "C:\Users\Paul\Desktop\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B - Disk 2 Associated Products Volume 1 [DEC Alpha]\Tru64 UNIX 5.1B - Associated Products Volume 1.iso" is shown as a model RZ58 in the Config Utility.

Issuing umount /dev/disk/dsk1c gives /dev/disk/dsk1c: not currently mounted.

So it's not mounted according to UNIX but the *.iso file is being referenced via the *.cfg file.

I'm afraid I'm stuck.

In the FreeAXP cfg file, the CD image should be marked as a CD-Rom, that will also change the disk type to RRD42. Then the mount command should be used to mount it read-only from within Tru64.
Something like

# mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /mnt

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
