Installation Error
I am trying to install OpenVMS on the FreeAXP simulator and I get this error message: "Error occurred executing AXPVMS$PCSI_EX_INS_PROCESSOR.COM"
I have tried installing on a 32-bit Centrino Duo (Windows XP) and a 64-bit Intel Core i7 (Windows 7 Professional).
Can anyone help with a solution?

Re: Installation Error
Paolo,
it is very unlikely, that this error has anything to do with the FreeAXP Emulator (not: Simulator) !
If you want help, please provide a better problem description (what exactly did you do ?) together with the commands used and the output of the console session (use cut &paste from the Putty Console window).
Volker.

>>> please provide a better problem description (what exactly did you do ?) <<<
I was trying to install openVMS. The installation had got to at least 40% complete and then this error message popped up followed by advice to terminate the process.
If you want a screen dump I'll have to start the install again - but I was twiddling my thumbs waiting for the install to finish :-)

Re: Installation Error
Paolo,
configure the Putty console terminal to log the printable screen output to a file (Session -> Logging) and re-run the installation. Then post the complete logfile (as an attachment to your forum message). This should answer most questions...
Which version of OpenVMS Alpha did you try to install ?
If you're interested, look at the procedure AXPVMS$PCSI_EX_INS_PROCESSOR.COM in [VMS$COMMON.SYSUPD] on your OpenVMS Operating System CDROM to see, what it's doing and what the possible errors could be...

Re: Installation Error
I'll do another install with logging.
Thanks

Re: Installation Error
Paolo,
...
%SET-E-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for DISK$ALPHASYS:[SYS0.][SYSEXE]SYS$ERRLOG.DMP;
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found
Error occured executing AXPVMS$PCSI_EX_INS_PROCESSOR.COM
Do you want to terminate? (Yes/No) yes
%PCSI-I-SPAWNEXE, error executing: @pcsi$source:[SYSUPD]AXPVMS$PCSI_EX_INS_PROCESSOR.COM
...
Did you have a look at the V8.4 version of AXPVMS$PCSI_EX_INS_PROCE SSOR.COM ? The only 2 commands, that could have failed are
$set prot=(S:RWED,O:RWED,G,W) PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSEXE]SYS$ERRLOG.DMP;
$set file /nobackup PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSEXE]SYS$ERRLOG.DMP;
These commands are preceeded by the following commands:
...
$sysgen = "$sysgen"
$define/user sys$output nl:
$define/user sys$error nl:
$if "AXPVMS" .eqs. "AXPVMS"
$then
$sysgen create PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSEXE]SYS$ERRLOG.DMP /size=8202
...
How about the disk space on DKA100: ? You'll note the DEFINE/USER commands above, which will PREVENT error messages from the SYSGEN CREATE command to show up. Why could that command fail ? Insufficient disk space ? A good old 'physical RZ25M had 535 MB of disk space.
From the OpenVMS V8.4 SPD:
The minimum disk space required for OpenVMS Alpha is 3 GB.
There were also a couple of %SYSTEM-I-MOUNTVER errors for BOTH DKA0: (CDrom) and DKA100: (RZ25M) - both virtual disks ? - preceeding this error. Those could have been caused by a problem in the FreeAXP Emulator or the underlying operating system. Are there any errors in the emulator logfile ? But mount-verification should NOT cause problems with the file system, i.e. missing files.
Volker.

Re: Installation Error
Volker: I am a complete novice concerning OpenVMS.
From your comments I assume I should set up a much bigger disk in the emulator. As far as looking at the disk contents are concerned, no I haven't - my knowledge of OpenVMS doesn't yet extend that far :-(
I shall modify the disk size and try to install again. Thanks for your help.
