(You can read all my OpenVMS articles by [clicking the picture above][2])

OpenVMS 7.3 is the latest version of OpenVMS for the VAX architecture. Since the
[DECUS][3] system uses OpenVMS 8.4 there were some version differences. I could
not set my 'BACKSPACE=DELETE' ([see my article here][4]) on 7.3. The hobbyist
license also covers the Alpha and Itanium versions of OpenVMS so I want to try
the Alpha version, which is consequently also 8.4, the latest release. This
article describes my attempt to compile and install the es40 open source Alpha
emulator on Ubuntu 16.04 and subsequently the installation of OpenVMS Alpha. The
emulator is not under active development since 2008, and the installation of
OpenVMS fails. OpenVMS does boot however, very very slowly.

### AlphaServer and ES40

Wikipedia defines the Alphaserver, of which ES40 is a type:

> AlphaServer was the name given to a series of server computers, produced from
1994 onwards by Digital Equipment Corporation, and later by Compaq and HP. As
the name suggests, the AlphaServers were based on the DEC Alpha 64-bit
microprocessor. As part of the roadmap to phase out Alpha-, MIPS- and PA-RISC-
based systems in favor of Itanium-based systems at HP, the most recent
AlphaServer systems reached their end of general availability on 27 April 2007.
The availability of upgrades and options was discontinued on 25 April 2008,
approximately one year after the systems were discontinued.

The [es40][6] project is the only open source Alpha emulator for Linux but sadly
the development halted around 2009. The author, Camiel Vanderhoeven, is now
working for VMS Software inc, the company that now develops OpenVMS and the x86
port. He is also doing [talks and video's][7] on OpenVMS:

The ES40 Emulator Project aims to create portable emulator for the HP (DEC,
Compaq) AlphaServer ES40.

There are other Alpha emulators, like FreeAXP, but those are Windows only.

Via [this page][8] I found a picture of the actual hardware ES40:

![][9]

[Here][10] are more pictures and manuals of the ES40 hardware.

### Dependencies

To build the emulator on Ubuntu 16.04, a lot of development dependencies are
required. Install all of them using apt:

apt-get install libpcap-dev build-essential unzip libx11-dev libsdl-dev automake autotools-dev libpoco-dev libxt-dev checkinstall

The actual source code is hosted on sourceforge and you can do a CVS checkout,
but that is slow and someone put the code on Github, so lets check out the
repository:

git clone https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/es40

Output:

### ./configure

This was one of the parts that gave me problems. First go into the code folder:

cd es40

If all the dependencies are installed, the output should be like this:

$ ./configure

Output:

config.status: creating m4/Makefile
config.status: creating src/Makefile
config.status: creating src/config.h

Start the compilation. This gave me an error right away:

$ make

Output:

The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:

It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:

I had to make two symlinks to these specific versions to get make to continue:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-1.14
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/automake /usr/bin/automake-1.14

The next try also failed:

$ make

Output:

Where does this error come from: `g++: error: nope: No such file or directory`?
I don't know any Nope binary. Lets see if it's in the Makefile:

$ grep nope Makefile

Output:

X11_CFLAGS = nope
CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -I/usr/include/SDL -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_SDL -I/usr/include -DHAVE_PCAP nope -DHAVE_X11 -pthread

Looking in the macro, the `nope` is there as well.
<https://github.com/RaymiiOrg/es40/blob/master/m4/x11.m4#L52>

It looks for the following C header file:

X11/Intrinsic.h

According to the [Ubuntu package site][11] that file is in the `libxt-dev`
package. I missed that when installing the dependencies. After installing it,
the make ran without breaking errors:

So it seems it worked? At least in the `src/` folder there now are binaries.

### SIGSEGV

Lets try to run the compiled binary:

$ ./src/es40

Output:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

My favorite program output, I love me a good segfault. Lets debug with `strace`.

* `-f`: Follow threads and child processes that are created
* `-T`: Print time spent in system call
* `-e trace=open,read,write,close`: Trace only specific system calls

strace -Tfe trace=open,read,write,close ./src/es40

Relevant output:

open("/usr/etc/es40.cfg", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So maybe it is missing the configuration. I did not do a `make install` since I
hoped that would't be needed. Using `checkinstall` we can create a debian
package. I like that over just a `make install` since it allows you to remove
the software from your system and overall general house keeping. After
`checkinstall` I copied the provided default configuration:

cp src/es40.cfg /etc/es40.cfg

Since there is no documentation on the configuration format, I'll run it and see
where the ship sails.

Let's run it again.

es40

The output gave a lot more debug information, the actual relevant issue was at
the top:

Could not open file img\vms83.iso!

From the HP hobbyist download server I downloaded the `ALPHA084.ISO` file. Copy
it to the right place and edit `es40.cfg` to reflect the correct filesystem
path.

Run it again and see what breaks:

There is an IDE controller defined in the config and an SCSI controller. Comment
out the SCSI controller:

In this case the VGA bios. Later on I ended up turning this off, but for now
lets download it:

wget http://savannah.gnu.org/download/vgabios/vgabios-0.6a.debug.bin -O "rom\vgabios-0.6a.debug.bin"

To skip ahead to a working situation, comment out these sections as well:

// pci0.4 = dec21143 {
// }

and

// action = """c:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:21264";
// action = """c:\Program Files\PuTTY\putty.exe"" telnet://localhost:21265";

and

// pci0.2 = cirrus
// {
// rom = "rom\vgabios-0.6a.debug.bin";
// }

As you might have guessed I had to figure out all these issues by slowly
tweaking the configuration until it booted up.

### Configuration that boots without segfaults

Our configuration now looks like this:

//gui = sdl
{
keyboard.use_mapping = false;
keyboard.map = "keys.map";
}
sys0 = tsunami
{
rom.srm = "cl67srmrom.exe";
rom.decompressed = "decompressed.rom";
rom.flash = "flash.rom";
rom.dpr = "rdpr.rom";
memory.bits = 30;
cpu0 = ev68cb
{
icache = true;
speed = 800M;
}
cpu1 = ev68cb
{
icache = true;
speed = 800M;
}
pci0.7 = ali{
mouse.enabled = true;
lpt.outfile = "lpt.out";
}
pci0.15 = ali_ide
{
disk0.0 = file
{
file = "disk0.img";
serial_number = "VMS";
rev_number = "8.4";
model_number = "OpenVMS8.3";
read_only = false;
cdrom = false;
autocreate_size = 600M;
}
disk1.0 = file
{
file = "ALPHA084.ISO";
read_only = true;
cdrom = true;
}
disk1.1 = ramdisk
{
size = 10M;
}
}
pci0.19 = ali_usb {}
serial0 = serial {
port = 21264;
}
}

### SRM (System Reference Manual) firmware

The emulator needs special firmware [from HP][12], the SRM.

The SRM firmware (also called the SRM console) is the boot firmware written by
DEC for systems based on the Alpha AXP microprocessor. The acronym SRM is
derived from the phrase Alpha System Reference Manual, the publication detailing
the Alpha AXP architecture and which specified various features of the SRM
firmware. The SRM console was initially designed to boot DEC's OSF/1 AXP (later
called Digital UNIX and finally Tru64 UNIX) and OpenVMS operating systems,
although various other operating systems (such as Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and
FreeBSD, for example) were also written to boot from the SRM console. The third
proprietary operating system published for the Alpha AXP architecture -
Microsoft Windows NT - did not boot from SRM; instead, Windows booted from the
ARC (multi platform "Advanced RISC Computing") boot firmware. (ARC is also known
as AlphaBIOS.)

When the system is booted, the SRM console is displayed as a blue screen with a
prompt. The prompt looks like `P00>>>` (the `00` indicates the primary
processor). On multi-processor machines, the prompt could be `P01>>>`, `P02>>>`,
etc. It views your NVRAM and devices as a pseudo-filesystem. You can see this if
you use the `ls` command. Also, it contains a fairly large set of diagnostic,
setup, and debugging utilities As well, SRM has environment variables, a number
of which are pre-defined and correspond to locations in NVRAM. You can view the
entire list of environment variables and their values with the `show` command
(there are quite a few of them, so you will probably want to pipe its output to
`more`). You can also show variables matching a "glob" pattern, for example,
`show boot*` will show all the variables starting in "boot". Read more about the
[SRM here][13] or [on wikipedia][14].

Download rom image [from here: cl67srmrom.exe][15]. It can be found on HP's
public FTP servers as well if needed, see the link above.

Make sure the filename in the configuration matches:

rom.srm = "cl67srmrom.exe";

### Boot up es40, finally

Now that we have a configuration file that does not cause a segfault, we can
boot up and connect to telnet to access the emulator.

$ es40

Connect to telnet on port 21264 from a different terminal:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 21264

Output:

Escape character is '^]'.
This is serial port #0 on ES40 Emulator

Quoting from the [es40][6] site:

> The port 21264 was choosen on purpose. Actually this was the first EV6 Alpha
processor CPU model number.

There seems to be a GUI option, but that window was very tall and small and was
not resizable. I therefore choose to use telnet only.

### SYSFAULT CPU1 - pc = 001a0e84

And it hang. My happiness was short. Searching around the internet lead me to
[the following support information][16]. It states:

> This is not an error caused by a hardware failure. The SRM console decreases
or increases its dynamic memory allocation (called heap space) to accomodate the
hardware configuration, to include the PCI devices installed. The system will
add 64kb of heap space for each re-init until it has adequate space. A few re-
inits are possible until it has enough.

The windows way of solving problems. Reboot until it works. I tried it a few
times, and suprisingly, it worked.

And at last, it dropped me into the SRM prompt:

A CPU error? Searching the internet gave no real help so I decided to comment
out the second CPU from the config, so that we emulate a single CPU machine:

//cpu1 = ev68cb
//{
// icache = false;
// speed = 800M;
//}

### Installing OpenVMS 8.4

Finally, after a few hours of compiling, tinkering and tweaking, it boots up!

OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V8.4
Copyright 1976-2010 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Please enter date and time (DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM)

This looks like a normal installation screen. Yay! It is very slow however, it
takes almost 10 seconds after I entered the date for the next line of text to
show up.

Please enter date and time (DD-MMM-YYYY HH:MM) 24-APR-2018 21:12

Installing required known files...

Configuring devices...

****************************************************************

You can install or upgrade the OpenVMS ALPHA operating system
or you can install or upgrade layered products that are included
on the OpenVMS ALPHA distribution media (CD/DVD).

You can also execute DCL commands and procedures to perform
"standalone" tasks, such as backing up the system disk.

Please choose one of the following:

1) Upgrade, install or reconfigure OpenVMS ALPHA Version V8.4
2) Display layered products that this procedure can install
3) Install or upgrade layered products
4) Show installed products
5) Reconfigure installed products
6) Remove installed products
7) Find, Install or Undo patches; Show or Delete Recovery Data
8) Execute DCL commands and procedures
9) Shut down this system

Enter CHOICE or ? for help: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/?)

We want to install, so choose 1.

***********************************************************

This procedure will ask a series of questions.

() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers

Type your response and press the <Return> key. Type:

? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure

There are two choices for installation/upgrade:

Initialize - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS ALPHA.

Preserve -- Installs or Upgrades OpenVMS ALPHA on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.

* Note: You cannot use preserve to install OpenVMS ALPHA on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.

Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE] INITIALIZE

This is a new installation, so wipe all the things.

Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) DQA0

Our boot device is the CDROM, `DQB0`, the prompt earlier shows `DQA0` as the
(virtual) disk.

Enter volume label for target system disk: [ALPHASYS] username2

If you're going to cluster, every disk must have a unique name. I tend to go
with the system hostname as system disk name.

The target system disk can be initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). (? for more information)

Do you want to initialize with ODS-2 or ODS-5? (2/5/?) 5

ODS, meaning `on disk structure`, is part of the `Files-11` filesystem. Compare
it with `ext2/3/4`.

"Files-11" is the general term for five separate file systems, known as on-disk
"structure (ODS) levels 1 through 5.

* ODS-1 is the flat file system used by the RSX-11 OS, supported by older VMS systems for RSX compatibility, but never used to support VMS itself; it has been largely superseded by ODS-2 and ODS-5.
* ODS-2 is the standard VMS file system, and remains the most common file system for system disks (the disk on which the operating system is installed).
* Although seldom referred to by their ODS level designations, ODS-3 and ODS-4 are the Files-11 support for the CD-ROM ISO 9660 and High Sierra Format file systems, respectively.
* ODS-5 is an extended version of ODS-2 available on Alpha and IA-64 platforms which adds support for case-preserving filenames with non-ASCII characters and improvements to the hierarchical directory support.

Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?) yes

Not sure what the impact is but lets do it. Enable those hard links.

You have chosen to install OpenVMS ALPHA on a new disk.

The target system disk, DQA0:, will be initialized
with structure level 5 (ODS-5).
Hard links WILL be enabled.
The disk will be labeled username2.
Any data currently on the target system disk will be lost.

Is this OK? (Yes/No) yes

This is an overview of what we selected. Go ahead.

Initializing and mounting target....
%MOUNT-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=!XB, virtual address=!XH, PC=!XH, PS=!XL

DQA0: was previously selected as the target system.
DQA0: has been modified.

If you need to return the target system to its original state,
you may need to restore your backup of the target system.

If you want to re-do the installation, HP recommends that you
restore your backup of the target system. Repeating the
installation may succeed, but it may also introduce subtle problems.

A failure again? Remember, I'm several hours into this project without success.
Let's try again then.

If you need to return the target system to its original state,
you may need to restore your backup of the target system.

If you want to re-do the installation, HP recommends that you
restore your backup of the target system. Repeating the
installation may succeed, but it may also introduce subtle problems.

Enter device name for target disk: [DQA0] (? for choices)

DQA0: is now labeled username2.

Do you want to keep this label? (Yes/No) [Yes]

The target system disk can be initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). (? for more information)

Do you want to initialize with ODS-2 or ODS-5? (2/5/?) 5

Hard links can be enabled on ODS-5 disks. (? for more information)

Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?) yes

You have chosen to install OpenVMS ALPHA on a new disk.

The target system disk, DQA0:, will be initialized
with structure level 5 (ODS-5).
Hard links will NOT be enabled.
The disk will be labeled username2.
Any data currently on the target system disk will be lost.

Is this OK? (Yes/No) yes

Initializing and mounting target....

Creating page and swap files....

That's weird, none of my choices were different but the result is that it does
continue with the installation.

You must enter a password for the SYSTEM account.

The password must be a minimum of 8 characters in length, and
may not exceed 31 characters. It will be checked and verified.
The system will not accept passwords that can be guessed easily.

The password will not be displayed as you enter it.

Password for SYSTEM account:

Re-enter SYSTEM password for verification:

This is just like the OpenVMS 7.3 install. Enter a system password.

Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No)

Will this system be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy? (Yes/No) no

Clustering will be configured later.

For your system to operate properly, you must set two parameters:
SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID.

SCSNODE can be from 1 to 6 letters or numbers. It must contain at
least one letter.

If you plan to use DECnet, SCSNODE must be the DECnet Phase IV
node name, or the DECnet-Plus (Phase V) node synonym.

If you have multiple OpenVMS systems, the SCSNODE on each system
must be unique.

Enter SCSNODE: username2

If you plan to use DECnet, SCSSYSTEMID must be set based on the
DECnet Phase IV address.

Do you plan to use DECnet? (Yes/No) [Yes] yes

DECnet Phase IV addresses are in the format

DECnet area number.DECnet node number

DECnet area number is a number between 1 and 63.
DECnet node number is a number between 1 and 1023.

If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.

Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address: [1.1]

SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 1025.

This was calculated as follows:

(DECnet area number * 1024) + DECnet node number

This is the networking stuff for DECnet. Since this is a test setup we can use
the defaults.

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)

Default Time Differential Factor is -1:00.

The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).

Enter the Time Differential Factor [-1:00]:

NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = -1:00

Is this correct? [Y]:

Defaults are fine here.

Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes] no

Entering the license later on is way easier then during the installation.

Installation has been terminated by an unexpected error.

The installation has not completed normally.

You should correct the situation which caused the termination
and then re-do the installation or upgrade.

Process AXPVMS INSTALL logged out at 23-APR-2018 20:41:53.85

Press Return to continue...

Reading through [more dev docs from the emulator][18], I found this:

> There is a permissions violation during install. Do not abort it, and the
install will work anyway. (note Camiel: differing results of installation
reported. A lot seems to depend on timing).

I tried a few more times, playing with the config file (different CPU speed,
different disk sizes etc), but I ran into other failures like these:

Exception in CPU thread: System exception: cannot signal semaphore: count would exceed maximum.
Emulator Failure: Threading error: CPU thread has died: AlphaCPU.cpp, line 532

Since I already spent a few hours tinkering without result, [the only post
here][19] wasn't very usefull since my disk is only 600 MB, and I didn't find
any other information, I decided to stop here and try it in another emulator,
probably FreeAXP for Windows.

Let's hope the x86 port is finished soon so it can run under KVM and virtualbox.
