| 1587.1 | OpenVMS V7.0 Predates V6.2-1Hx | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Tue Feb 11 1997 09:30 | 22 |
:I have a alphaserver 1000a 5/400, I cannot boot from :the v7.0 cd-rom. Why??? OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 is older than the OpenVMS Alpha V6.2-1Hx series, the hardware releases that first supported this and other recent systems and configurations. This is somewhat counter-intuitive, but was a deliberate decision intended to allow V6.x customers -- customers that could not move to the OpenVMS Alpha V7.0 release immediately -- to acquire and use the new hardware and new configurations. The OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 release includes support for all systems and configurations first supported by the OpenVMS Alpha V6.2-1Hx series. Information on OpenVMS upgrade paths is being incorporated into the OpenVMS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) monthly posting. :Also when will v7.1 be available. The OpenVMS V7.1 release is presently available and shipping. | |||||
