OpenVMS V9.2-1 FT on Oracle Virtual Box 7.0.8

Post by imiller » Wed Apr 19, 2023 12:21 pm

I'm trying out VirtualBox. I've installed it and configured what I think is a valid VM with 8Gb RAM, 2 CPU, a couple of SATA disks

I can get to the EFI prompt and see fs0: present as the CD drive (X86E9021OE.ISO).

If I cd to the FS0:\EFI\VMS folder I see VMS_BOOTMGR.EFI but if type VMS_BOOTMGR.EFI to run it the nothing happens and I'm immediately back are the EFI prompt.

Here are the last few lines of the VM log file

Code: Select all

00:10:04.330399 EFI: VBoxDbg> loadimage32 'VMS_BOOTMGR.efi' 0xd930a000 LB 0x1f33a0

I presume I've setup something wrong as this is the first VirtualBox VM I've setup. I've previously been using Realplayer.

Any suggestions?

Ian, I run error free Windows 10 21H2 and Virtual Box V7.0.6 r155176 (Qt5.15.2).

Below, the procedure I have extracted from Installation Manual of VMS E9.2-1 to correctly setup the Virtual Box Virtual Machine

VSI OpenVMS x86-64 E9.2-1 Installation Guide
Document Number: DO-DVXINS-01A
Publication Date: March 2023
Revision Update Information: This is a new manual.
Operating System and Version: VSI OpenVMS x86-64 Version E9.2-1

https://docs.vmssoftware.com/docs/vsi-o ... -guide.pdf

Code: Select all

2.3. Creating a VirtualBox Virtual Machine

Note: The following instructions have been written for VirtualBox 7.0.

To create a virtual machine in Oracle VM VirtualBox 7, follow these steps:

1. Run Oracle VM VirtualBox and select Machine > New from the main menu. The Create Virtual Machine wizard opens.

2. On the Virtual machine Name and Operating System page of the wizard, do the following:

a. Set the Name and Folder for your VM.
b. In the ISO Image field, specify the path to your OpenVMS ISO file.
c. In the Type dropdown, select Other.
d. In the Version dropdown, select Other/Unknown (64-bit).
e. Click Next.

3. On the Hardware page of the wizard, set the Base Memory for your virtual machine. VSI recommends a minimum of 8 GB. Click Next.
4. On the Virtual Hard disk, set the size of your virtual hard disk. VSI recommends a minimum of 15GB. Click Next.
5. Click Finish.

You have created your VirtualBox virtual machine. Now, you must properly configure it before you can
install VSI OpenVMS x86-64 E9.2-1.


2.3.1. Completing Your Your VirtualBox Virtual Machine Configuration

To prepare your virtual machine for VSI OpenVMS x86-64 installation, follow these steps:

1. Once you have created your VM, right-click it and select Settings from the menu.

2. In the Settings window, do the following:

a. Go to System > Motherboard and specify the following settings:

i. From the Chipset dropdown, select ICH9. If you select any other chipset, OpenVMS willnot install.
ii. Make sure the Enable I/O APIC and Enable EFI options are checked.


Note: Your virtual machine must boot from UEFI, not BIOS.

b. Go to Storage.

In the Storage Devices area of the Settings window, you will see the default IDE controller and two devices: the hard disk that you created in the previous topic and the optical drive containing the VSI OpenVMS E9.2-1 ISO file. IDE disk controllers are currently not supported, so you
must change the controller type to either AHCI (SATA) or LsiLogic (the choice is up to you). 
To do so, perform the following steps:

i. Click the IDE controller to select it.
ii. In the Attributes area on the right side of the Settings window, select AHCI or LsiLogic from the Type dropdown list.
iii. To avoid confusion in the future, enter an appropriate name in the Name field.
iv. Click the hard disk to display its attributes and make sure that it is now marked appropriately as SATA or LsiLogic.
v. Click the optical drive to display its attributes and make sure that it is now marked appropriately as SATA or LsiLogic.

c. Go to Network.

i. Click the Attached to dropdown and select Host-only Adapter.
ii. Сlick Advanced.
iii. From the Adapter type dropdown, select Intel PRO/1000 MT Server.

d. Go to Serial Ports. Your VM must have an active serial port, so that you can connect to it later using a terminal emulator.

i. Check Enable Serial Port.
ii. Set Port Mode to TCP.
iii. Uncheck Connect to existing pipe/socket.
iv. In the Path/Address field, type the port number that you want to use. In this example, we will use port 2023.

e. Click OK to apply the changes and close the Settings window.

Your virtual machine is now ready to have VSI OpenVMS x86-64 installed on it.
I hope this helps.

/Maurizio

Thanks for the info. I've tried those steps again and still have the same result. I can start up the VM and boot to EFI but when I enter VMS_BOOTMGR.EFI then nothing happens and it returns to the EFI prompt.

Entering the ls command at the EFI prompt does show VMS_BOOTMGR.EFI and VMS_KITBOOT.EFI

Maurizio,

could you please check your VM log file from the 'working' BOOTMGR start ? To be able to spot any differences from the output posted by Ian ?

Volker.

Volker, Ian,

attached you find the last few lines of the Virtual Box log of my VM. I initialized the VB log file which logged the events up to the boomgr "device" command. Unfortunately, this forum does not allow me to attach text files and large files; eventually send me a private message indicating your email addresses; I will be happy to send it to you.

Ian, please check also that the VMS x86-64 .iso image is not corrupted.

Ian,

I've been told, that this looks like a config problem:

00:00:21.317023 EFI: VBoxDbg> loadimage32 'Shell.efi' 0xd9cce000 LB 0xc3520 <<< FAILING

versus

00:00:08.866803 EFI: VBoxDbg> loadimage64 'Shell.efi' 0xd8178000 LB 0xdda60 <<< WORKING

Did you create a 64bit VM ?

Volker.

that was it. Changing to Unknown 64 bit and I've now installed VMS 8-)

Added in 6 hours 18 minutes 19 seconds:
It seems to me VirtualBox is running VMS E9.2-1 faster than Relayplayer Workstation 16 does :)
