329.0. "Need urgent help for British in Canada!" by KAOFS::R_OBAS () Wed Mar 25 1992 18:05

    We blew away our DIAMOND FT. Now I am scrambling to re-install the
    kit from the net, there was a confusion. For all we know support for
     FT sites was over.(Well we were scolded.)
       Has anybody installed the kit presently on the net ?. I am having a
    problem. THis is the second attempt, after about 8 hours, it quits
    because of an error "%BACKUP-E-VBNMISSING, when it is restoring basekit
    saveset C. This error is a known BUG in VMS and was supposedly fixed in
    v5.4-*.(I am at 5.5) It happened twice with the same saveset. 
    Is it possible that there was or an error occured when this saveset was 
    being built ? My system disk has a clean bill of health.

329.1I installed the previous FINAL kitAIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAWed Mar 25 1992 19:3717
    Ricardo,
    
    Which "FINAL" kit are you trying to copy. The official announcement
    from IOSG talked about a BL123 which I copied and installed on our
    systems last Thursday and Friday without any major problems.
    
    But now that I look at the kit location I see that it points to a
    Baselevel 123A of which I know nothing... and for which I hope an
    official announcement will follow.
    
    Of course I've never ever tried to install the BRITISH kit (:==:)
    
    P.S FT support in the U.S goes til May 20th
    
    regards,

329.2IOSG::A1$v30_sdc_kit: is this the right kit ?KAOFS::R_OBASWed Mar 25 1992 19:543
329.3Back to square 1 !!KAOFS::R_OBASWed Mar 25 1992 20:217
    I'm copying all the save_sets again. You're right they look fresh 
    when I checked the dates.
     Another 8 hours, copy should be finished and another 12 hours, 
    should get my BL123A up and running.
     
     FT support, you said MAY I got word it's JUNE 28th.
        I'm not installing BRITISH kit, My customer is BRITISH in Canada.
329.4Will there be 123B ?UTRTSC::SCHOLLAERTHalf Dutch - Half BelgiumWed Mar 25 1992 20:453
     >I copied it Monday night, March 23. Are there any kit somewhere else ?
    
    See note 385 in the DIAMONDFT conference.
329.5I can't copy from that node !KAOFS::R_OBASWed Mar 25 1992 21:244
    Hero::, I am unable to copy anything there. No proxy access. My
    colleague who have access to that node, compared the dates and sizes 
    and looked the same. But He is now doing the copy for me .
    
329.6Anyone remember BL30 now that was a baselevelAIMTEC::WICKS_AVote Bill'n'Opus for a weirder USAWed Mar 25 1992 21:4418
    Ric,
    
    Please no kit locations in here so i've set .2 hidden. 
    
    I have no idea what is in the location you specified on the IOSG node
    but it used to be the previous-previous-final kit aka BL122D 
    and not what is on HERO.
    
    I will have to ask you to wait for our BRITISH friends in ENGLAND to
    wake up and explain which kit is which and how you install it.
    
    P.S if we collect the full set of final kits to we get a prize (:==:)

329.8OK, Britain has woken up now: *NO* kit on IOSG::!!IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Mar 26 1992 10:2115
    The kit on IOSG is *not* the final SSB kit. At the request of our
    colleagues in Product Management we are not publicly announcing a
    Network kit of V3.0. No doubt there will be some more "discussion"
    about this later :-)
    
    If you have a proxy as a Field test site, then the proxy and logical
    are set to what we now believe is the final kit, since we took it to
    the SSB yesterday....
    
    And yes, we have tried a British installation from the BL123A kit and
    it works fine.
    
    More details are in the DIAMONDFT conference.

    Andy,
    
    We all got surprised at a meeting tuesday by the BL123A kit, but
    Shyrlee was there so at least someone in Atlanta knew.
    
    FCS is 8-April for Eur, 17th April for US/GIA. Assuming the FT sites
    have update contracts it should take a few days/weeks for the kits to
    get to them. After that, as BL123A is the kit that's gone to SSB, then
    they are covered by their normal service contract.
    
    So I guess between 17th and 30 April FT support ought to terminate.

    PPS I installed BL123 BRITISH (to the strains of rule britannia) last
    week successfully.
