Category: Getting RSX11M+ running on SIMH

Now we need to mount (foreign) the two disks that we copied from the original baseline disk and make a bootable disk with more file headers. The RQ disks in sim have now become DU disks in RSX.

>SHOW DEV DU
DU0:     Public Mounted Loaded Label=RSX11MPBL87 Type=RD54
DU1:     Loaded Type=RD54
DU2:     Loaded Type=RD54
DU3:     Loaded Type=RX50
>MOUNT DU1:/FOREIGN
>MOU DU2:/FOR

Note that most RSX commands can be abbreviated to 3 letters. Also, not all utilities are installed. To install BRU type:

>INS $BRU

We are now ready to use BRU to make a disk with more headers. To learn more about BRU you can type HELP BRU. I chose to increase the # of file headers to 8000 from 3308 and also increase the maximum allowed headers to 15,000.

>BRU /INI/MAX:15000./HEA:8000.
From:   DU1:
To:     DU2:
BRU -- *WARNING* -- No bad block data file found
BRU - Completed

Now we can check to see if the DU2: has the increased number of file headers. We need to dismount the disks then mount them as Files-11, public volumes.
