My original post:
Can I take an existing Alpha 2100 system running OpenVMS,
wipe it out and install DigitalUNIX? I have CSLG. Will
I need to buy a OSF base license? (Thanks, Bill!)
These are the original model/descriptions of the
major components:
DY-251P1-A9 DEC 2100 Server Model A500MP
450YR-AA VMS System Add-In CPU for SMP
MS451-CA 512MB ECC Memory Board
BA350-KA Storage Pedestal w/AC 1/2 SCSI
RZ28-VA 2.1 GB Disks
TLZ6L-LG 16GB DAT Loader
I've searched the Digital WEB servers and I seen this
as "an advantage" of Alphaservers.....
"The only series of solutions with the freedom of choice
of three operating system environments - all AlphaServer
systems are designed to run Digital UNIX, OpenVMS, or
Windows NT."
Anyone confirm or deny? Better yet, if so, has anyone
tried this?
-----------------
Summary of replies:
By all accounts, yes, it is possible. But, the following must
be taken into account:
(1) Regardless of CSLG, must buy an OSF-BASE license as it is not
part of CSLG.
(2) Some mentioned the following licenses as well: OSF-USER
and NET-APP-SUP-200.
(3) Confirm the correct Firmware version.
(4) Set os_type UNIX at the console and install from CD.
(5) Since I have two processors, I will need an UNIX SMP License.
I really appreciate all your time and assistance!!
