4124.0. "Going to install v2.3 to overwrite v3.0." by HTSC19::SIMONLAU () Mon May 02 1994 05:09

    Hi,
    
    I'm going to install ALL-IN-1 IOS V2.3 on a machine which is currently
    running ALL-IN-1 IOS V3.0 and VMS V5.5-2. And I have the following
    questions:
    
    - What should be done in before I install v2.3 as a fresh brand new
      ALL-IN-1 installation ?
    - Should I clean up the v3.0 in the system manually first ? Or the 
      installation of v2.3 will do it for me ?
    - Any other comment/suggestions ?
    
    
    Your input would be appreciated.
    
    
    Thanks a lot
    Simon

4124.2remove everything!FRAMBO::HOFMANNStefan Hofmann, IST FiWi @FRSMon May 02 1994 08:0913
    While I cannot understand why anybody wants to do this, here is what I
    can recall from our installation testing. You should
    - stop and remove all ALL-IN-1 images
    - remove libraries and application symbols
    - stop all ALL-IN-1 detached processes
    - delete all batch jobs (sender, fetcher, housekeeping)
    - deassign logicals OA$* from LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE and OA$*_TABLE
    - remove ALL-IN-1 accounts and identifiers from UAF
    - delete all ALL-IN-1 files from SYS$SYSTEM and SYS$LIBRARY
    
    ... I hope I didn't forget something important ...

4124.3Its really something !!HTSC19::SIMONLAUTue May 03 1994 11:3916
    Stefan,
    
    Thanks a lot for your info.
    
    Do you mean that I have to do everything (on your list) manually before
    installation ?
    
    Would there be any side-effect if I omit something ?
    
    Would the installation procedure check for me ?
    
    
    Thanks a lot.

4124.4has been done beforeFRAMBO::HOFMANNStefan Hofmann, IST FiWi @FRSWed May 04 1994 08:1117
    Hello Simon,
    
    yes, you should execute these steps manually (or in a procedure)
    Maybe you can in fact omit one or the other step, but if you really
    want to be sure you install on a "clean" ALL-IN-1-free system....
    
    The installation checks a lot of these things and I can think of two
    types of problems you might run into
    1. 	installation may abort because it finds remaining parts of former
    	ALL-IN-1 installations.
    2.	installation finds existing ALL-IN-1 elements and assumes they
   	belong to versions lower than V2.3, because usually customers
    	upgrade. I cannot foresee what problems this may create, that's 
    	why I recommend to clean the system before installation.
