Note: If you are running a version of OpenVMS AlphaServer system earlier than version 7.3-2, you cannot upgrade directly to version 8.3. You must first upgrade to version 7.3-2—depending on the version of OpenVMS operating system you are using, you may require an upgrade to an intermediate version first. For example, if you are running OpenVMS AlphaServer system version 7.1, you have to first upgrade to either version 7.2, 7.2-1, or 7.2-2, and then upgrade to version 7.3-2, and finally to version 8.3.
If you are using OpenVMS AlphaServer system version 7.2 or later, you can upgrade directly to version 7.3-2 and then to versions 8.3 and 8.4.
