2527.0. "Hardware upgrade and v3.1 with Alpha VMS 7.1" by KERNEL::BURDENI () Wed Feb 19 1997 10:41

    Hi,
    
    I have been searching through this conference and still feel in a
    little doubt as to the answer to the following :
    
    Background :
    I have a customer who is running ALL-IN-1 v3.1 on an Axp 2100 
    (OpenVMS 6.2).  The plan, is to move this system to an Axp 1000a which
    would require a minimum of OpenVMS 6.2-1H3.  
    
    Problem:
    The customer has been advised to upgrade to Openvms 7.1 and judging
    from previous conference discussions, ALL-IN-1 v3.1 will be OK in this
    instance, though a patch is required along with the SYSGEN MULTITHREADS
    parametre set to 0.  I am unsure of the required patch, and whether or
    not there are any other considerations.
        
    Some help would be appreciated with this.
    Many Thanks
    Ivan

2527.1	Check MR / MB400 situation as well	ZUR01::ASHG	Grahame Ash @RLE	`Wed Feb 19 1997 11:12`	5
	You should also check the situation with MR and MB400. I don't think the MB400 MTA runs on V7 (it's supported, but it doesn't seem to work!), and there maybe problems with Message Router as well. grahame

	Neither MB400, Message Router or any other Message Router related products have been certified on VMS V7.1 Contact Carl Evans@reo for more information. Mike

	If you're customer is running ALL-IN-1 V3.1, then they need to install ICF 48, which is an accumulation of patches including some fixes for VMS V7.0. These are also needed for VMS V7.1. Whilst you're at it, you might want to consider installing ICF 46, which contains accumulative patches for the File Cabinet Server - but that very much depends on how important the FCS is to them (e.g. any TeamLinks users ?). Does the customer run PathWorks at all ? I'd rather not go into the gory details unless they do... :-) -Kevin.
2527.5	MR will be a big problem	KERNEL::BURDENI		`Thu Feb 20 1997 13:24`	13
	All, Re .4 There has been no mention of Pathworks, but there are teamlinks users using TCP/IP transport, I will note the relevant patches - thanks. Thanks for the replies, I think there is enough here especially on the MR side to deter him from upgrading to v7.n of Alpha VMS. Not that I would want to, but I think the issues highlighted will put a hault to the move. (At least till the Messaging solution can be thought out). Cheers, Ivan.
2527.6	No problem with MR.	KERNEL::BURDENI		`Thu Feb 20 1997 14:13`	14

It is great when you spot your own mistakes before someone else gets there first. They are using remote MR therefore there is no problem to report back to the customer. Except the patch requirements already discussed for ALL-IN-1.. Cheers. Ivan.
