464.0. "Installation blues on a PVAX" by INFACT::DATZMAN (Indianapolis Field Applications Center) Thu Mar 23 1989 09:11

I am having trouble upgrading a PVAX from VMS 5.1-TB0 to 5.1-B.  I have
two disks on the PVAX, DKA300 and DKA200.  DKA200 is the system disk.  I
have the VMS savesets in DKA300:[000000].  When I run vmsinstal I get the 
following errors:

%VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset A ...
%VMSINSTAL-E-NOSAVESET, Saveset  A  cannot be restored.
%BACKUP-E-READERR, error reading DKA300:[000000]VMSU1051.A;1

s 22 through 36


I tried a ANA/DISK/REPAIR DKA300: and it said:
%VERIFY-I-OPENQUOTA, error opening QUOTA.SYS
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
%VERIFY-W-BADHEADER, file (35,9,1) [000000]SYSLOST.DIR;1
        invalid file header
%VERIFY-W-ALLOCCLR, blocks incorrectly marked allocated
        LBN 172032 to 172034, RVN 1
%VERIFY-W-BADDIRENT, invalid file identification in directory entry [000000]SYSL
OST.DIR;1

Plus some other %VERIFY-W-LOSTHEADER errors on some non important files.

Is there anything I can do to correct this or am I hosed?  Any help is
MUCH appreciated.

This doesn't have anything to do with DECwindows - it looks like you have a bad
copy of the kit.  Get another one and apply it to the backup you made of
your system disk before you installed the bad kit.  (You DID make a backup,
didn't you?)

    The kit I am installing from is located on the USER disk not the
    SYSTEM disk.  DOes this make a difference?  Anyway, I am going to
    get a new copy of saveset A and try again.  Thanks.

No, shouldn't make a difference.  Sounds like your user disk needs to be
"repaired".

    I tried ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR DKA300: and I got some %VERIFY-W-LOSTHEADER
    warnings on some non critical user files.  I then retried the
    installation and got the same errors ans in .0.  Any ideas?

Sounds like the kit itself is bad, I'd blow it away and get a fresh copy.
