Here is another hinv topic.
I received this two-tower Origin200 one year ago but didn't have time to play with till now. Just fired it up yesterday to (re)discover what's inside...

I would like to reinstall or update IRIX. Do I have something to know before (like patch5086, last version of IRIX that supports O200, additional CD required,...) ?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Nice system. Loud though, not? Hopefully the plastic skins are in decent condition?

You need to install patch5086 before you install 6.5.22, unless you boot from the 6.5.22 installation media and perform a miniroot installation. The Origin 200 is supported all the way up to IRIX 6.5.30 (and runs it pretty well too).

You don't need any special CD's, just the usual IRIX 6.5.xx overlays and the 6.5 base OS CDs. You might even be able to get away with only the overlay discs.

Have fun!

Thanks for your answers.

I have hoever some more questions:
- So, if I boot from CD, the patch is installed automatically ?
- The CD drive can be connected on any of the two towers, even if I install from the miniroot ?
- If I decided to reinstall completely the system, could I do it when the two towers are connected or should I do it separetely and connect them afterwards ?
- Last question, for now: how can I keep the licenses if I reinstall irix ? Which file(s) to copy on my backup server ?

No, the issue is that with 6.5.21 or 6.5.22 (?) they changed the format of the software distribution files. If you perform an installation from within IRIX, you need patch 5086 which will upgrade your old installation program ('inst') so it understands this new format. If you boot from CDROM and install from the miniroot, you use the 'inst' program from the miniroot and that one already knows how to handle the new format.

BetXen wrote: - The CD drive can be connected on any of the two towers, even if I install from the miniroot ?

I expect no problems there. The PROM will simply detect a CD-ROM drive on SCSI controller 3 instead of 1 and offer you to boot (and install) from that when you select the 'install software' option from the PROM menu.

I would leave the towers connected. The installation will flash the firmware of the system, otherwise one tower will still have the old firmware which will cause problems.

Make a backup of /var/flexlm/license.dat. If you have an XLV license, check for /etc/flexlm/license.dat also. As long as you don't put a new filesystem on the disk(s) an IRIX upgrade shouldn't touch third party applications or licenses, but a complete backup before an update is never a bad idea.

Nice machine!

If you can find a GigaChannel it should be possible to add a graphics
head (SE+Tex max.) to it.
Tried that with my twin O200 but it didn't worked with the 180Mhz R10k :(
But it's the loudest machine in the house... :twisted:

I don't have enough time to play with my boxes, so I won't probably add a graphic card to that one. For sure, the origin 200 is the loudest that I own. In fact it's located in the basement of my parent's house... I only fire it up from time to time

I'll focus on my octane2 for the time being... and play with the others when I can't do anything else, that means when it rains ;-)
