VMS 5.1.1 - Porting the existing application to a new OS

[ShyGuy]

Lim,

I know that that HP Malaysia has VMS experts - A customer of mine (a telco equipment manufacturer) did set up a production plant in Malaysia and Digital and later Compaq provided the customer with local VMS support. I'm confident that HP can do the same for you today.

Lim,
The machine has an uptime of only 33 days. Its date is also wrong.

TK50 is a tape drive
DKA100 Would be a SCSI Drive
Third one is also a disk drive. (maybe internal to the box).

Please check the following:

Memory:
$show mem

Configured disks:
$show device d/full

CPU
$show cpu

and just to make sure its not a part of cluster:
$show cluster

To check you application startup sequence:
$type/page sys$startup:systartup_v5.com

This would give yopu a basic idea on what is the Hardware/OS setup like.

Also you might want to check the DECnet settings:

$mc ncl sho exec

and for TCP/IP settings

$ucx sho interface

For you network card:

$mc lancp show device /char

Lim, some alternate commands that you may need, depending on your setup:

$ MC NCP SHOW EXEC CHAR (you may want to keep some of this information to yourself, the output will include passwords)

$ SHOW DEVICE E !to show network adapters

Lim,

There could be another solution - I thought I posted this already but it could have been on another forum elsewehere.
There is a VAX emulator that runs on both Alpha (on VMS!) and Windows (a port to Linux is possible if paid for); all it does is: it emulates the HARDWARE and therefore you can leave your system and application environment WITHOUT ANY CHANGE; it's called Charon-VAX. Check www.softresint.com for some details. On HP hardware (either Alpha or Intel) it's fully supported by HP. They _should_ know.
