Hi,
I've tried to compile the VIM-7.3 Sources on my freshly installed VS4000,
and entered a pitfall here.
Since the C Compiler was complaining that the virtuel memory is exhaustet,
I'veed the PGFLQUOTA for the user to 104826 and the VIRTUALPAGCNT SYSGEN
Value to 2097152 (max was displayed as 4194304)
I've let run autogen and ebooted.
Now the system ewfuses to boot:
%SYSBOOT-W-WS default and quota raised to PHD+MINWSCNT
%SYSBOOT-F-VASOV, system virtual address space exeeded
?06 HLT INST
PC= 00009631 PSL=041F0000
From the VMS error messages manual at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6023/6023pro_019.html :
VASOVF, system virtual address space limit exceeded
*Facility:*SYSBOOT, System Bootstrap Facility
*Explanation:*The combination of SYSGEN parameters used to specify
various capacities within the operating system have pushed the size of
the operating system address space over the limit allowed by the VAX
architecture.
*User Action:*Reduce one of the parameters (BALSETCNT or VIRTUALPAGECNT
(VAX only)) that contribute to the virtual address space size required
by the OpenVMS system. By using AUTOGEN to set these values for your
system, you avoid selection of parameter combinations that cause system
space to overflow its architectural boundaries.
To recover, perform a conversational boot (i.e. the boot process will
let you modify system parameters to recover from a situation like
yours). It is described here:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82final/aa-pv5mj-tk/00/00/34-con.html
Use the "booting with default system parameters" section. You probably
then need to reduce VIRTUALPAGECNT below the value you have set (which
gives a 2GB virtual address space) because the VAX architecture allows
max. 2 GB virtual memory and you are probably just over the limit.
The VMS documentation is excellent, you will find it online here:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/
and this is a good manual to start with:

(you will find it from the page above by following the link "OpenVMS
Operating System" to the left.
