Friendly community!
But now OpenVMS is available on x86 and you can run it in VirtualBox yourself: https://raymii.org/s/blog/OpenVMS_9.2_for_x86_Getting_Started.html https://raymii.org/s/blog/OpenVMS_9.2_for_x86_Getting_Starte...
- BSDobelix 3y agoHey! Thank you very much for your blog, got (again) into OpenVMS X86 because of it! BTW when do you blog about a cluster setup? ;)
- mrlonglong 3y agoSign me up for this too!
- jandeboevrie 3y agoIt's on my todo list! I hope to integrate it with some modern software like haproxy or the built in Apache fork, next to file sharing etc.
- BSDobelix 3y agoATM i test OpenJDK with Yacy, clustering Yacy via OpenVMS is next ;)
- mechanicker 3y agoSamba for file sharing? I led development efforts for the first Samba release on VMS (IA64) working at HP. It was not performant enough compared to ASV but we were on the right path.
- mrlonglong 3y agoI've worked with VMS in the early 90s. Still my favourite operating system, and I'm really happy they ported it to the x86 architecture.
- BSDobelix 3y agoIf you haven't already seen it some story's from Andy Goldstein[1]. The quality of OpenVMS is really something else, also repeated from Dave Cutler[2].
