OpenVMS 9.2 for x86-64 is now available both commercially and for hobbyists and runs on at least Sandy Bridge and later via VMware, VirtualBox, and KVM it’s pretty neat, but… it’s pretty shameful that it wants 6GB of RAM minimum, two 4GB or larger disks, and preferably two or more CPUs when OpenVMS 7.3 runs great on VAX with only 24MB of RAM and a couple hundred megabytes of disk, and OpenVMS 8.4 runs beautifully on Alpha with a couple hundred megabytes of RAM and a gigabyte of disk anyway everybody should install VMS one way or another (OpenVMS 7.3 on SIMH works great) and set up a gooncluster via tunneled DECnet

in 6GB I could run an emulated VAXcluster with something like 8 emulated 512MB VAXen with SIMH

Tankakern posted:OpenVMS 9.2 for x86, Getting Started part 2, auto boot, licenses, PAKs, networking and SSH uh, not really? IBM, Control Data, Univac, Burroughs, and Digital Equipment all had fairly different OS styles; interestingly, Hewlett-Packard (and therefore Tandem) are rather IBM-esque except where they’re DEC-esque
