2194.0. "How to read old History files?" by GIDDAY::CHEUNG ("CSC, Sydney") Tue Feb 11 1997 22:20
I am working on a customer's problem for which the history file info can not be
accessed after moving from an AXP to VAX system.
Customer has created 2 new history sets for the "old" system; ie nodename_INCR
and nodename_FULL. He then copied the 2 "old" history files to the respective
SLS directories. $FULL.DAT and $INCREMENTAL.DAT were renamed to
$nodename_FULL.DAT and $nodename_INCREMENTAL.DAT
In TAPESTART.COM, logicals have been added to point to the "old" disk, directory
and name:
$ sear sys$startup:tapestart.com hisnam_6,hisdir_6
$ HISNAM_6 := PHV021_INCR
$ HISDIR_6 := SLS$ROOT:[HIST.PHV021_INCR]
$ sear sys$startup:tapestart.com hisnam_7,hisdir_7
$ HISNAM_7 := PHV021_FULL
$ HISDIR_7 := SLS$ROOT:[HIST.PHV021_FULL]
However, STORAGE REPORT SYSTEM can see nothing from these history set (in this
case, nodename is PHV021):
$ storage report system *::*:[*...]*.*/hist=(phv021_full,phv021_incr)
%SLS-I-SEARCHING, searching set PHV021_FULL for *::*:[*...]*.*;* ...
%SLS-I-SEARCHING, searching set PHV021_INCR for *::*:[*...]*.*;* ...
%SLS-I-MATCHES, 0 records found for *::*:[*...]*.*;*
%SLS-W-NOREPORT, no records matched, no report produced
Any idea what procedure had been omitted in moving the history files from AXP to
the VAX system? Could it be possible that the format of SLS history varied
between AXP and VAX system?
Thanks for any help

| 2194.1 | look for sls$root! | MUNICH::REIN | How come holes in SWISS CHEESE?? | Thu Feb 13 1997 05:33 | 7 |
| Hallo,
I also have a mixed cluster, and there the definitions for
sls$root are different. Make sure, that the path on both machines is
the same!

| Thanks Volker
Yes, the SLS$ROOT definition from the "old" ALPHA system is not the same. One
thing is that the ALPHA system has gone (decommissioned) to become an NT system.
The SLS$ROOT for the current VAX system points to DSA25:[SLS$FILES.] and the
"old" SLS$ROOT at ALPHA system pointed to $1$DUA156:[SLS$FILES.]
The history files for both systems are now at the subdirectories in
DSA25:[SLS$FILES.]; ie:
DSA25:[SLS$FILES.HIST.FULL]$FULL.DAT;1 ! Image for current VAX
DSA25:[SLS$FILES.HIST.INCR]$INCR.DAT;1 ! Incre for current VAX
DSA25:[SLS$FILES.HIST.PHV021_FULL]$PHV021_FULL.DAT;1 ! Image for "old" ALPHA
DSA25:[SLS$FILES.HIST.PHV021_INCR]$PHV021_INCR.DAT;1 ! Incre for "old" ALPHA
� Make sure, that the path on both machines is the same!
I don't know if you meant what I'd done. I defined a process logical SLS$ROOT to
point to DSA25:[SLS$FILES.] and $1$DUA156:[SLS$FILES.] and the STORAGE REPORT
SYSTEM command still couldn't see anything from the "old" ALPHA system. If what
you meant is something else, can you point me on how to make sure the path of
both machines is the same.
Thanks for your help

| 2194.3 | Seems resolved | GIDDAY::CHEUNG | "CSC, Sydney" | Thu Feb 13 1997 17:18 | 10 |
| Hi,
It looks like the problem is because all the content files have not been copied
over. Copying all the _*.DAT files over and STORAGE REPORT SYSTEM can see all
the entries in the history files.
Will wait for customer to do a RESTORE to verify.
Thanks,
