Finally - all done
Today, I took the AlphaStation200 that runs VMS, re-jumpered the disks so it fits my set up.
Tried lastlu written CD of 8.2, looks good but fails to boot - again. Took the one 1.05 disk from the pizzabox to hold 8.2 and installed from there. Ok, it takes some time - but now this machine - named DAPHNE - is now a VMS 8.2 machine in the cluster!
Set the whole thing up - taht is, startup copies and adapted from DIANA and that works smoothly as well. Major setup of TCPIP, not all since DNS, DHCP, POP et all still need to be determined how to set that up in cluster.
Did IO as well - the same thing, without a problem. That is: VMS 8.2 installed, put it in cluster but setup needs to be finished still.
