138.0. "ewa0 is offline?!" by HYDRA::PASHAPOUR (Disk space, the final frontier) Tue Feb 04 1997 10:53

    Hi,
    
    An ISV has a as255. He runs Digital UNIX with no problem on it. He
    installs VMS 6.2 on it and he can't get DECnet and/or UCX running on
    it.
    
    
    >>> ewa0_mode twisted_pair
    
    When he tries to start DECnet he gets:
    
    $ @netconfig
    DECnet starting
    Operation failure, device is not in configuration
    or not available
    Unrecognizable component circuit
    circuit = ewa0
    
    $ sho dev/full ewa0:
    Device DE435 is offline, network device, a template only.
    
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    
    Amin

138.1	V6.2-1H2, -1H3, or V7.1 or later	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Tue Feb 04 1997 11:37`	7
	The AlphaStation 255 series requires a minimum of OpenVMS Alpha V6.2-1H2, and I'd use V6.2-1H3, or V7.1 or later. If the system is actually running V6.2-1H2 or later (though not V7.0!), what status, errors, devices, etc., are reported "present and accounted for" by the system console.
138.2	how to update?	HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER	Alpha Developer support	`Tue Feb 04 1997 11:56`	5
	How does he update to V6.2-1H3? Thanks. Amin
138.3	have been on the phone 3 times.	HYDRA::AXPDEVELOPER	Alpha Developer support	`Tue Feb 04 1997 12:05`	7
	Have suggested several things to him. Still not working. Looks like he needs to upgrade to V6.2-1H3. Mark suggests he call the 9000 number and order through them. I have asked in the vmsnotes about the procedure as well. Amin
138.4	See Low-Numbered Notes...	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Tue Feb 04 1997 13:08`	17
	: How does he update to V6.2-1H3? External folks order the CD-ROM from the Software Supply Business (SSB) folks. Contact 1-800-DIGITAL, or the local reseller. You must explicitly order the specific release required, otherwise you might get a release such as V7.1. Digital-internal order information is posted in 8.15. As for the upgrade sequence, V6.2 can be updated/upgraded directly to V6.2-1H3 with no intermediate stops. Various other upgrade/update paths are posted in note 8.13. As should always be mentioned (and seldom done :-), read the OpenVMS installation and upgrade manual for the release, as well as the new features and release notes.
138.5	thans!	HYDRA::PASHAPOUR	Disk space, the final frontier	`Tue Feb 04 1997 13:36`	5
	Thanks for the reply. Sorry I added one of my log entires in here. Thanks again. Amin
