Using [this guide][3] I was able to install OpenVMS 7.3 for VAX on simh on
Ubuntu 16.04.
This is a copy-paste of my terminal for future reference. This is not one of my
usual articles, a guide with comprehensive information an background. Just a log
of my terminal.

The OpenVMS Management Station is a client-server application that
provides OpenVMS system management capabilities through a client
application on a personal computer (PC) running Microsoft Windows.
The server application runs on OpenVMS systems and is automatically
installed as part of the OpenVMS operating system.
This option provides the files used to install the PC client software.
If you want to use the OpenVMS Management Station, you must install
these optional files on at least one OpenVMS system and then use one or
both of them to install the PC client on one or more PCs. There are two
files: TNT030_I.EXE for Intel systems (Windows 95 and Windows NT), and
TNT030_A.EXE for Alpha Windows NT systems.
The OpenVMS Management Station optional files consume approximately 20000
blocks and will be placed on your system disk in SYS$COMMON:[TNT.CLIENT].
* Do you want to install the optional OpenVMS Management Station files? (Y/N) n
You can select DECwindows now, or you can use the DECW$TAILOR utility
to provide or remove DECwindows support after the installation.
Some media, TK50s in particular, can be very slow when tailoring on files.
You might want to select DECwindows now and tailor off unwanted files later.
NOTE: This kit does NOT contain full DECwindows.
To obtain full DECwindows, you must also install the separate
layered product, DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX.
V1.2-3 is the minimum version of DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX
that can be used with OpenVMS VAX V7.3.
The DECwindows components provided in this kit requires approximately
34400 blocks, broken down as follows:
o DECwindows base support - 4400 blocks
o DECwindows workstation support - 23800 blocks
- 75 dots per inch video fonts - (included)
- 100 dots per inch video fonts (optional) - 6200 blocks
You must select the DECwindows base support option if
- you plan to run DECwindows software, or
- you are installing this kit on
* a workstation or
* an OpenVMS Cluster that contains workstations, or
- you want to provide font files for Xterminals.
If you are installing this kit on a system that includes Xterminals
and you do NOT select DECwindows base support, then you will have to use
the DECW$TAILOR utility to provide font files.
* Do you want the DECwindows base support? (Y/N) y
Space remaining: 2203591 blocks
You must select the DECwindows workstation support option if
- you are installing this kit on
* a workstation or
* an OpenVMS Cluster that contains workstations, or
- you want to provide font files for Xterminals.
If you are installing this kit on a system that includes Xterminals
and you do NOT select DECwindows workstation support, then you will have
to use the DECW$TAILOR utility to provide font files.
* Do you want to install DECwindows workstation support? (Y/N) y
Space remaining: 2179791 blocks
DECwindows workstation support includes the 75 dots per inch video fonts.
All DECwindows applications run with 75 dots per inch video fonts.
By default, most systems startup with 75 dots per inch video fonts.
Certain applications can take advantage of 100 dots per inch video fonts.
For the VAXstation 4000 series machines, 100 dots per inch video fonts
are used by default. If you decide not to install 100 dots per inch
video fonts, you must edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
to force 75 dots per inch video fonts to be the default. Otherwise,
certain applications may not space text properly.
For instructions on how to configure your system with both 75 and 100
dots per inch video fonts, see the installation guide or look at the
template command procedure SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE.
* Do you want 100 dots per inch video fonts installed? (Y/N) y
Space remaining: 2173591 blocks
Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with
the OpenVMS operating system kit. Compaq strongly recommends that
DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are
supported by DECnet-Plus.
DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option. Support for DECnet
Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract.
If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet
applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS
Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCI/IP.
If you plan to install DECnet Phase IV do NOT select DECnet-Plus.
* Do you want to install DECnet-Plus? (Y/N) y
Space remaining on system disk: 2093591 blocks
DECnet Phase IV will not be installed.
The following options will be provided:
OpenVMS library
OpenVMS optional
OpenVMS Help Message
DECwindows base support
DECwindows workstation support with:
- 75 dots per inch video fonts
- 100 dots per inch video fonts

You can now remove the distribution kit from DUA2:.
In an OpenVMS Cluster, you can run multiple systems sharing all files
except PAGEFILE.SYS, SWAPFILE.SYS, SYSDUMP.DMP, and VAXVMSSYS.PAR.
Cluster configuration cannot be done at this time because no network
is present. In order to configure a cluster you must FIRST do one
or both of the following:
o Install DECnet-Plus (or DECnet Phase IV), or
o Execute SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP.COM by removing the
comment delimiter ("!") from the line
$! @SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP
in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
Then configure the cluster by executing the following command:
@ @SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG

Hostname:
* Please enter the SCSNODE name: REMY1
Explanation taken from the article linked above:
For the SCSNODE name - the hostname, if you will - you'll have to remember to
use only 6 characters or less. The SCSSYSTEMID is a bit more complex. It's
calculated through the formula X * 1024 + Y, where X is the DECnet area number,
and Y the DECnet node number in that area.
Since we're starting from scratch, we can use X=1; for the node numbers, it
makes sense to think this through properly. Useful tip: use the last octet of
the IP address you want to assign to this machine! Since I want to give IPs
10.20.1.131 and 10.20.1.132 to the nodes, I'll give WHISKY Y=131, COGNAC Y=132.
This leaves us with a SCSSYSTEMID of 1155 for WHISKY, and DECnet code 1.131.
COGNAC will get 1156 as SCSSYSTEMID and DECnet code 1.132.
If you want machines to communicate with others over DECnet, you really, really
should communicate with those people on how to decide on DECnet addresses. If
you would want to join my cluster, you'll HAVE to use DECnet area 1, and you'll
HAVE to use a DECnet node number that's not 131 or 132.
Why? Because DECnet overwrites your MAC address, based on the DECnet address.
The 16-bit decimal address is converted to a hexadecimal number and appended to
the address AA:00:04:00 in byte-swapped order, with the least significant byte
first. For example, DECnet address 12.75 becomes 12363 (base 10), which equals
304B (base 16). After this byte-swapped address is appended to the standard
DECnet MAC address prefix, the resulting address is AA:00:04:00:4B:30 (thanks to
Cisco for that brief explanation). And, in the end, we really don't want to have
two identical MAC addresses on the same network, do we?
* Please enter the SCSSYSTEMID: 1155
After the installation finishes, you might want to do one or more of the
following tasks:
o DECOMPRESS THE SYSTEM LIBRARIES - To save space, many of the system
libraries are shipped in a data-compressed format. If you have
enough disk space, you can decompress the libraries for faster access.
To data expand the libraries, type:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:LIBDECOMP.COM
If you do not decompress these libraries, you will experience
slower response to the HELP and LINK commands.
o BUILD A STANDALONE BACKUP KIT - You can build a standalone backup kit
using the procedure described in the "Backup Procedures" chapter of
tye upgrade and installation supplement provided for your VAX computer.
o TAILOR THE SYSTEM DISK - You might want to review the files provided or
not provided during this installation. If you find there are files
you want to remove from the system disk (TAILOR OFF) or files you want
to add (TAILOR ON), use the following utilities to perform the
desired tailoring.
OpenVMS tailoring: $ RUN SYS$UPDATE:VMSTAILOR
DECwindows tailoring: $ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR
NOTE: The tailor procedure cannot be used to TAILOR ON or TAILOR OFF
files located on an alternate disk.

DECnet-Plus will now be installed.
Media containing the DECnet-Plus kit must be available.
If you are installing OpenVMS from an Infoserver (DAD1)
or local CD-ROM, there is a DECnet-Plus kit on the CD-ROM.
If you are installing from a cartridge tape (TK50) or
from an open reel tape, you should have a DECnet-Plus kit
on cartidge tape or open reel tape.
An appropriate DECnet-Plus kit may also be available on
the Consolidated Distribution CD-ROM, or you may have a
separate DECnet-Plus kit.
NOTE: You may choose any available media for the
DECnet-Plus kit. It is NOT NECESSARY to use the same
type of media that contained the OpenVMS kit.
If you do not have a DECnet-Plus kit available, or if you
have decided NOT to install/upgrade DECnet-Plus, you can
bypass the DECnet-Plus installation by entering "EXIT"
