How to install OpenVMS 7.3

[huntrashmi]

Can anyone please point me at a link to download the documentation CD for OpenVMS 7.3 VAX? I found 7.2 but I would like to have the 7.3 version which I understand was the last release for VAX. Thanks in advance.

Check at VAXHaven. There is an HP disk that should be V7.3

This is a useful tutorial for installing VMS 7.3 on VAX: https://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocom ... -simh.html

It is written with the assumption that you are using SIMH, but it is also applicable to real hardware.

Code: Select all

   I realize that there are differences (no ODS5; no SYSMAN, only
SYSGEN; and so on), but for many purposes, I'd expect recent Alpha docs
to be close enough.  Especially if the primary concern is "How to
install".
