SIMH and Ethernet Connectivity
Hi All,
We have several ageing VAXes (some in production still) and I've been looking at SIMH as a way of providing cover for the development VAXes.
The base hardware is an HP Proliant DL380 with Debian Etch as the OS. I've installed SIMH, configured up the ini file and installed VMS 7.3 successfully. TCPIP & DECNET Plus have been installed
But I cannot get it to talk to the outside world. I installed a separate Ethernet card (it's an Intel Pro/1000 Quad Port).
Of the four ports I'm using the one seen by Linux as eth5. I can see that has connected.
I've tried with the Linux eth5 port configured and unconfigured. When the port is configured I can ping devices from the Linux host using that port.
From the emulated VAX there's an Ethernet device under LANCP and the interface is there under TCPIP. They're mapped to the eth5 port with the lines below in the vax.ini file.
set xq mac=08-00-2B-AA-BB-CC
attach xq eth5
There's a web page I've been following;
http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html
Any further hints as to what might be stopping this. It would allow me to possibly retire some of the MV3100s I have still running that are acting as various hot spares!

Re: SIMH and Ethernet Connectivity
Rob,
Don't know if it is still the case, but I recall
that if you want to "write" to the interface you
need to start simh with privilege i.e.
sudo ./vax

Re: SIMH and Ethernet Connectivity
Problem was in the Debian build of SIMH itself, we installed the later version from the "unstable" branch and it's now working. It successfully joined our Development Cluster as well.
Thanks for the link to that group, it could come in handy.
