| 471.2 | it's O'VMS 7.1 | CRVETE::LENTZ | Peggy Lentz | Mon Jun 02 1997 08:44 | 8 |
| That's right SLS is NOT running and it cannot because it's O'VMS 7.1.
In fact, in desparation, I did try to start SLS (who knows, miracles
can happen) and got an ident mismatch error message.
So the question still stands, how do I get out of this apparent Catch
22?

| 471.3 | What is the SLS version? | COOKIE::HEISLER | Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering | Mon Jun 02 1997 09:06 | 7 |
| Peggy,
What is the exact version of SLS that is running? Do a
storage show version on the V6.2 system to find out. We have
MDMS V2.8-E02 running on a V7.1 system here.

| 471.4 | MDMS only can be used | COOKIE::HEISLER | Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering | Mon Jun 02 1997 10:23 | 15 |
| Peggy,
You cannot run full SLS on V7.1. You can only have MDMS
installed there. You can pull a copy of an MDMS that will
install on V7.1 from this directory:
COOKIE::AIM$PUBLIC:[ARCHIVE_BACKUP.KITS.ABSOMT_SSB]
There are MDMS kits and an eco which applies to MDMS or
SLS (SLSE02028.A). The MDMS kits are called MDMSOMT028.%.
Delete the SLS that you have installed on the V7.1 system,
then install these kits. This should work for you.

Ouch!! The customer is running the 6.2-1H3 machine in production and it
is running SLS from the 7.1 system disk. I thought installing SLS caused
MDMS to install. Is there any way to start just MDMS on my 7.1 machine
from the SLS installation on the 7.1 system disk?
>> . . . an eco which applies to MDMS . . .
My guess is the eco is important or you wouldn't have mentioned it --
what does it fix?
Thanks,

| 471.6 | SLS version is V2.8A | CRVETE::LENTZ | Peggy Lentz | Mon Jun 02 1997 14:12 | 6 |
| Chris,
I read .3 and .4 out of order. Anyhow the SLS version is V2.8A based
on the storage show version.

| 471.7 | No easy way | COOKIE::HEISLER | Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering | Mon Jun 02 1997 14:22 | 15 |
| Peggy,
No, there isn't anyway to just start MDMS from a full SLS
installation. You'll probably have to move the SLS installation
to a disk on the V6.2 system. Then you can delete the SLS
on the V7.1 disk and install just MDMS over there.
Have you been running from that V7.1 disk for a long time,
or did you just start it up when you installed V2.8A there?
I wish I could give you some easy way to do this, but I don't
know of an easy way. V2.9 will support V7.1, but that is
still in field test.

| 471.8 | ECO | COOKIE::HEISLER | Chris Heisler, ABS Engineering | Mon Jun 02 1997 14:25 | 14 |
| Peggy,
The ECO is what brings it to V2.8A. There is an article in
TIMA (STARS) about the eco, if you want to read what it fixes.
Look for the title:
*SLS] SLSE02028 Storage Library System for OpenVMS V2.8 ECO Summary
Oh, also, MDMS is a subset of SLS, but there is a lot more put
out there with SLS. When it is a full installation of SLS,
you are starting SLS with SLS$STARTUP. If it is only MDMS, then
it is starting SLS.

| Chris,
Gulp...
Anyhow thank you for the answers, however unpalatable.
