The disks you've got and the size that they are, are a direct reflection of
what you've got in your configuration file (combined with default values for
disk types).
Hi Priya,
The MSCP disk controller provides emulation for 4 separate disks, and up to 4
separate MSCP controllers can be enabled and configured.
Each disk associated with a particular MSCP controller can emulate a
traditional disk model (RD54, RA81, etc.) with its natural size or can be an
arbitrary sized device using the RAUSER disk type. The following commands
entered directly into the simulator or in its configuration file can adjust
these details:
sim> SET RQ0 RA90
sim> SET RQ1 RAUSER=4096
The HELP command will explain many potential details:
sim> HELP RQ
FYI, the simulator automatically looks for and loads a configuration file
called simulator-name.ini when it starts. An arbitrarily named configuration
file can be specified on the command line when invoking the simulator:
$ vax config.ini
The commands within a configuration file will be displayed as they are executed
if the -V switch is entered on the command line:
$ vax -V
or
sim> do -V otherconfig.ini
If your configuration file starts a simulator executing instructions (BOOT,
GO,RUN, etc.), then you won't ever see the "sim> " prompt.
While a simulator is executing, entering the ^E character will drop you back to
the "sim> " prompt. Once there, you can look around, and/or change details of
the simulator configuration.

Subject: [Simh] Size of disks created by Simulator
Hi,
I have a question about the disks created during simulation.
I noticed that 3 disks get attached when we run the simulator for the first
time.
[root@localhost data]# ls
cd.iso d0.dsk d1.dsk d2.dsk ka655x.bin nvram.bin
ford/system$ sho dev d
Device Device Error Volume Free
Name Status Count Label Blocks
DNFS0: Online 0
FORD$DUA0: Mounted 0 FORD 2371878
FORD$DUA1: Mounted alloc 0 DATA1 2940579
FORD$DUA2: Mounted alloc 0 DATA2 2940579
FORD$DUA3: Online 0
Is there a way to increase the size of any these disks ?
- Priya
