Sprinkle (The Grue)http://www.myspace.com/jamestsprinkle I have an AlphaStation 200 4/233 that I just installed from the latest hobbyist kit. It works fine but you'll want as large a disk as you can find to install it on. It will probably take the bulk of a RZ28 once you get some products installed on it.

I'd guess that the real fun in enhancing one of these would be trying to find 768MB of fast-page-mode (60ns or 70ns, (true) parity) memory for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.

And you can't avoid this, so I recommend that if you do a logfile of the installation (which I always recommend) do the deletion of the old recovery data by hand before you start the new kit installation (or you end up with umpteen hundreds DELETE-I-DELETED lines in the logfile). >2) apply OpenVMS-8.3-update-4 And an ECO installation save the recovery data then (for PRODUCT UNDO PATCH). >What is worse is that the junk directory was also found on three other >platforms. I deleted the junk and rebooted without any problems. The supported method of getting rid of them is PRODUCT DELETE RECOVERY_DATA but as you noted, deleting the whole directories does work as well. You see the advantage of the supported command in (not needing to repeat the DELETE command more than once until the whole tree is deleted and of course in) the qualifiers /BEFORE= and /OLDEST= >Hopefully this information will be of use to someone else. Only to them who hadn't followed the various PCSI threads here in COV :-) My (PCSI) recommendations still hold: 1) You need at least PCSI V7.3-402 for a successfull PRODUCT UNDO PATCH That means you need at least VMS732_PCSI V1.0 on V7.3-2 (and maybe similar ECOs for older versions of OpenVMS). V8.2 and up has no problem with UNDO. OpenVMS VAX V7.3 unfortunately still has no similar PCSI ECO and so is unable to UNDO a patch (but you may remove the whole product including the ECOs and reinstall the product without the ECOs again as always/before). Do a PRODUCT SHOW UTILITY to find out if your PCSI is new enough. 2) You need a patch ECO (-4) for saving (and also not deleting of old/saved) Recovery Data. Full kits (-1) cannot save recovery data (they also ignore the qualifier and/or the corresponding PCSI logical) and do also delete all previously saved recovery data. Note: TCPIP V5.5/V5.6 ECOs are not ECOs (TCPIP_ECO), but full kits (TCPIP). That means you do not need to install V5.6 before the ECO2 (but you do it with the VMS V8.3 upgrade/installation of course ;-) but you do loose all saved recovery data then by installing this kit. 3) Do installations with as much logged info as possible eg. $ DEF/SYS/EXE AXPVMS$PCSI_EXECUTE_VERIFY YES $ DEF/SYS/EXE AXPVMS$PCSI_LOG_TRACE BOTH $ DEF/SYS/EXE PCSI$$SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA YES $ DEF/SYS/EXE PCSI$LOG TRUE $ DEF/SYS/EXE PCSI$SOURCE SYS$SYSDEVICE:[INSTALL_KITS] $ DEF/SYS/EXE PCSI$TRACE TRUE for PCSI (and OPTIONS L for VMSINSTAL) and use a logfile (one for each and every installation !) eg $ SET HOST 0/LOG= !if DECnet is installed/started $ SET HOST node/LAT/LOG= !if LAT is started and outgoing conn enabled $ TELNET localhost/LOG= !if TCPIP is inst/start and Telnet Svr enabled 4) If you plan to install some products/ECOs at once, sort them and then install only one product at a time (always with its own logfile) a) BACKUP (or a shadow member dismount ;-) b) PRODUCT DELETE RECOVERY_DATA c) VMSINSTAL the - full and ECO - (*.%) kits d) PRODUCT INSTALL the (*-1.PCSI*) full kits e) PRODUCT INSTALL the (*-4.PCSI*) ECO kits f) Reboot (if neccessary) only once 5) If you UNDO PATCH, keep in mind that you can only UNDO the newest/last ECO. If you need to UNDO an older one you need to undo all newer ones as well. -- Peter "EPLAN" LANGSTOEGER Network and OpenVMS system specialist E-mail peter@langstoeger.at A-1030 VIENNA AUSTRIA I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2008 00:29:57 -0700 (PDT) From: "Bart.Zorn@gmail.com" Subject: Re: Polycenter Scheduler Message-ID: We are running CA's version of DECscheduler on both OpenVMS V7.3-2 and V8.3.
