Good enough.
This machine has been named AS400Â when standalone, it will get a different name when booted in the cluster. I installed VMS 8.2 on it and has done a very basic configuration.
Problem getting it into the cluster is that it needs a KZPBA-CY card installed, the box is secured and I don’t have a key number 34…Â
It has been set up as a cluster member, so with it’s own system disk, I can load the licences from Diana. That is : I hope.
