4903.3Minimum version of RDB for OpenVMS ALPHA V7.1ORAREP::METSYS::THOMPSONFri Feb 14 1997 13:3828
Hi,

We have just upgraded a system from AVMS V6.1 to V7.1. Previously it
was running RDB V5.1 and this worked just fine. Now RDB will not
even start:

$ @SYS$COMMON:[SYS$STARTUP]RMONSTART51.COM;1
%INSTALL-E-FAIL, failed to CREATE entry for DISK$ALPHASYS:<SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSLIB
>RDMPRV51.EXE
-INSTALL-E-SYSVERDIF, system version mismatch - please relink
%INSTALL-E-FAIL, failed to CREATE entry for DISK$ALPHASYS:<SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSLIB
>RDMSHRP51.EXE
-INSTALL-E-SYSVERDIF, system version mismatch - please relink
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image RDMPRV51

It's a good error message. However I thought VMS V7 meant that I would
run some risks of a crash not that it was a complete nogo.

If I re-install V5.1, will this resolve the problem? i.e. does the kit
link at install time?

I suspect not, that being the case - what's the minimum RDB version that
will even attempt to run with OpenVMS ALPHA V7.1?

Thanks

Mark

use SYS$UPDATE:REGISTER_PRIVILEGED_IMAGE to
register RDMPRV51 and RDMSHRP51.  Back when
Rdb 5.1 was written, OpenVMS V7.0 wasn't even
an idea.

I should add as well that we've done little testing/qualifications
with Rdb 5.1 on VMS 7 and later.  If it works, fine.  If you have
problems with how Rdb works, then, since you're using an unsupported
version, you may have to upgrade.

Many thanks. Looks good so far.
