PCSI error (hex 1652800A) on OpenVMS upgrade?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I'm trying to upgrade OpenVMs v6.2-1h3 to v7.1,
on an Alpha 2100a 4/275 using the PRESERVE option.
The installation fails immediately after asking
"Do you always want detailed descriptions" with
%NONAME-E-NOMSG   1652800A. The initialize option
will continue ok, does this suggest that our disk/
directory structure is non-standard?

The Answer is :

 
  If the PCSI utility cannot find one of its database files (eg: those named
  sys$common:[sysexe]*.pcsi$database) it will terminate with an exits status
  of %NONAME-E-NOMSG, Message number 1652800A.  (This translates to the
  PCSIUI$_ABORT message.)  If one or more of these files are deleted, renamed
  to a version other than ;1, or otherwise rendered inaccessable, PCSI will
  not be able to locate the files.
 
  You will need to contact the Compaq Customer Support Center to determine
  exactly what has happened here, and what can be done.  (There are steps
  listed here in Ask The Wizard around recreating the PCSI database that
  may be of interest.)
