I am running vms on vax and vax780 in simh V3.9-0 on a Solaris Ultra.
The SET CPU IDLE and SET THROTTLE commands return "Command not allowed"

Is there a way to modify Solaris to allow idle detection to work as
suggested in the post above?

Yes. There's a kernel parameter related to timekeeping precision.
