I have a separate SCSI disk .I have installed(image backup) VMS 7.1.1 with application pms2.2 in it .Now I have connected this disk with SCSI controller card in a windows computer. In this computer, I have installed freeaxp but I cannot able to boot VMS from this freeaxp.Freeaxp can not recognize the SCSI hard disk. When I give the command
>>>sh dev
SCSI disk is not showing.
[This thread belongs in the FreeAXP forum, and I will move it there shortly.]
FreeAXP uses container files on the host computer for its SCSI disks, not raw disks.
SimH/VAX appears to be able to deal with raw disks and VAX/VMS on it can be clustered with VMS on FreeAXP.
On recent versions of VMS, a logical disk can be created that can be dismounted and copied to the Windows system running FreeAXP where it can be configured for FreeAXP.
It also may be possible for the Magic Disk product to mount a file containing an arbitrary disk image as a read only CDROM, and FreeAXP can be configured to use Magic Disk as a CDROM/DVD.
