236.0. "V7.1 OpenVMS runs what versions of Spiralog?" by CSC32::T_HUTCHIN () Fri Feb 07 1997 21:05

    
    	We have some customers who want to upgrade to OpenVMS 7.1.
    	However, they're currently running the Spiralog file system.
    
    	Is Spiralog V1.2 the only version certified for V7.1?  Or will
    	earlier versions also run under V7.1?
    
    	Thanks,

Spiralog V1.2 is the only version supported on OpenVMS V7.1


You can get Spiralog V1.1 to run on V7.1 but I would advise against it
both for supportability reasons and also because a subsequent Spiralog 
upgrade _will_ damage your V7.1 system in terms of obsolete images�.

Given that I expect the Spiralog V1.2 kit to be with the SSB within a 
few weeks I would ask that your customers bear with us just a little 
longer. The timescale mentioned in note 234.0 is still accurate.

---------------

�Due to a 'foible' of the PCSI product installation tool if you 
upgrade VMS to go from an OpenVMS V7.0 + Spiralog V1.1 system to
an OpenVMS V7.1 + Spiralog V1.1 and subsequently upgrade the 
Spiralog portion to go to an OpenVMS V7.1 + Spiralog V1.2 then 
you will end up with the OpenVMS V7.0 versions of the BACKUP.EXE
and SYS$IPC_SERVICES.EXE images which may cause all sorts of 
problems with things like backup, batch/print, DECdtm, Rdb, 
RMS Journalling and possibly others.

    Sounds like the word "tool" needs a new definition in connection with
    PCSI.
