So in the middle of setting things up and I am a little confused about getting files in/out of the simulator. The simulator site is down so no documentation. (Github....why no Wiki?)
I am following directions that refer to purchased media. I downloaded everything from HPs site. That directory of stuff is too big to fit on a CD. One of the of the files is the VMS OS .iso file so I guess I can attach that as a CD for booting(?)
Is there a way to mount a directory and all the other stuff like compilers that I might want to install?
Is there any instructions that are a little more up to date with current online media etc.?

Github was up the last time I looked.
https://sourceforge.net/p/vms-ports/wiki/VMSInstallation/ has a lot of materials.
None of the downloaded files are actually ISO files. They are disk images, and yes, there is a significant difference.
Generally for the first VMS system, you need to manually install enough stuff to get tcp/ip working so that you can ftp or NFS access files from the host system.

I have sunk a couple of hours into TCP/IP. I can ping it but can't get any transfer services to actually work. With FTP for example I finally got the server running but it says "connection refused" on inbound. FTP client just times out on outbound.
Guess I am going to have to make a data CD with my kits and mount that.
What a friggin' pain. We have crossed over from challenging but fun to annoying. |

Check to make sure that the Pi does not have a firewall that is blocking the unencrypted FTP traffic.
You can look at setting up the Pi as a NFS server and then have the SimH/VAX mount the data. But you will need to enable NFS V2 on the server on the Pi.
If your Pi has a /etc/nfs.conf, the current default is NFS V2 disabled. Also enable UDP.
udp=y
vers2=y
On the VAX side:
$if .not. f$getdvi("JAZZ_ROOT","exists"
$then
$ if arch_name .nes. "VAX"
$ then
$ nfs_opts="/version=2/transport=UDP/structure=5"
$ else
$ nfs_opts=""
$ endif
$ tcpip mount dnfs: jazz jazz_root -
/host=jazz-san.xile.realm/path="/home"-
/system'nfs_opts'/acp_params=(buffer_limit=819200)/timeout=00:00:05
$endif
