From what you are saying here you're planning on running simh instances on Itanium host systems, right? I CAN NOT recommend that you attempt to run a cluster of Itanium systems with one or more of those cluster nodes being the host system(s) for simh VAX instances which are also members of the SAME cluster. > I am a VMS formatted guy, so I like a lot reading docs.

Or specific things about simh on OpenVMS? If you can elaborate on "robust" and "easy to maintain" we can offer suggestions. The latest code (https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/master.zip) simh VAX simulator should build cleanly on IA64 VMS. It can use the vms-pcap package (https://github.com/simh/simh/archive/vms-pcap.zip) to communicate on the LAN. VMS Build instructions should be clear at: https://github.com/simh/simh When using vms-pcap to connect to the LAN, each simh instance will require a dedicated NIC device on the host system. I don't believe that very many folks are currently running on IA64, so you may be testing beyond what others have done recently. Good Luck. - Mark _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
