Alpha V8.2-based Infoserver?
I don't recall reading anything inre in the
release notes; I expect it's unsupported,
or was pulled from 8.2 release.
perhaps the exe/help are placeholders
(this looks to be the case).
but if not, I'd figure there would be
a driver to load and/or server process to
start. (or perhaps a beta/test kit)
any ideas?

Latent support. It may end up in V8.3 - watch for New Features or Release notes.

Try the OpenVMS 8.3 Software Developer Kit. See http://h71000.www7.hp.com/news/sdk_8_3_announce.html

Re: Alpha V8.2-based Infoserver?
P. Weaver's remarks helped me notice that
I fat-fingered the ess$
I can create a service for a LDAn: device
(mounted /nowrite, or /foreign) from the Alpha 8.2 using ess$infoserver.
from other 7.3-2/8.2 Alpha nodes, I can bind to it (via ladcp), and mount it (DADn:)
I tried various combinations of boot-flags
(notably bit 10, lad/last bootstrap),
w/ an LDAn: built from AXPVMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM, as well as a
an LDAn: image of a 7.3-2 binary/install CDROM.
Both wind up looking for a disk server,
"%VMScluster-I-REINIT_WAIT, ...Waiting for access to the system disk server"
(regardless that I dithered the LDAn:'s alphavmssys.par with vaxcluster=0, etc)
What I was hoping for, was to use this as a way to boot into a standalone/minimum environment, off a remote CDROM (or LDAn), without acting/joining as a cluster satellite.
eg, perhaps to booting into a ISL environment first, the "Network Initial System Load Function", from which one might choose a
disk service.
[..Some of my confusion may stem from the fact, that I've never seen even one InfoServer, and as such, might be mistaken
about what functionality to expect ..]
f.ex, I'm wondering if there are some ess$isl*.* pieces I need to be looking at,
or addtl loaders on the mop client setup (decnet/osi)
>>>boot -prot mop -flags e,401 ewa0
(boot ewa0.0.0.9.0 -flags e,401)
Trying MOP boot.

As opposed, to something I expected would
look something like, what's seen here:
