Hello,

I use simh to emulate a VAX. It seems I have a strange issue.
I have a process which use a huge number of logical names. So it uses memory. With a physical VAX of 128m it was difficult but possible.
I use the same system disk (upgraded from VMS 6 to VMS 7.3).
I use last version of simh with 512m and I get a "%SYSTEM-F-INSFMEM, insufficient dynamic memory" message. I thought new version of VMS needed more memory, so I add a lot to all the memory parameters. Same problem.

The new version may need more or less memory in different places, but going from V6 to V7 means that AUTOGEN knows about more interrelationships.

It is/was best practice to run AUTOGEN (without feedback) after a major VMS version upgrade. What usually works:

 * place your usual (V6) SYSGEN parameters in MODPARAMS.DAT
 * reboot, using a conversational boot, and in SYSBOOT> USE DEFAULT
 * run AUTOGEN with parameters GETDATA REBOOT NOFEEDBACK

Resolve any issues in the AUTOGEN report, observe the behaviour of the system and adjust only via MODPARAMS.DAT.
