installing OpenVMS

Well, I've decided to bite the bullet and try to install OpenVMS 7.2 from the media kit I bought a few months ago the RZ-24E it originally had by an ST31200N. I transferred a TZ30 drive from a storage expansion box that was used in a decstation 2100 to the right bay, and I got hold of a 512 bytes/sector DEC CDROM. The prospect of the installation is somewhat scary forme since I know nothing about VMS, but with the help of the OpenVMS installation guide I am to the point where I restored the system save set to the ST31200 (dka0) and booted off it. So far, the only choice I have made is to select Decnet plus over Decnet phase IV, as the installation instructions seemed to hint that it can work over tcp/ip . When it is done extracting those packages, I understand that it is going to ask me about passwords and about SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID. Can someone explain SCSSYSTEMID to me? I know nothing about OpenVMS or DECNET, but I am hoping to eventually set up things to boot the uVax II that I also have off the 4000/60; in addition, I'd like to connect everything to the university's 10T and run internet clients on the 4000/60 . accepting to being clueless, Carlos. -- Carlos Murillo-Sanchez email: cem14(a)cornell.edu 428 Phillips Hall, Electrical Engineering Department Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853
