The Question is:
Hello,
I am trying to upgrade our OpenVMS Alpha from 1.5 to 6.1, using OVMS AXP
V6.1 CDROM KIT,
purchased by Case Western Reserve University, licence number
AV-PY15B-TE.
I have DEC3000 workstation, and I have followed the installation script
line-by-line for the rolling uppgrade
in the VMSCluster environment. After the upgrade has been completed, the
AUTOGEN report has been generated and the final automatic reboot has
been completed, I have the black screen with all output information from
the boot and mouse pointer. System doesn't respond to
neither mouse click or keybord command. However, when I have reached the
system directory from the other machine, I have found in
the DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG this information:

virtual address=01FFF160, PC=00000004, PS=00000000
Request opcode 74 is ignored due to internal runtime error c for client
(#error = 1)
Last sentence looks like a fatal error for me and, I guess, describes
the reason of DECWindows failure.
But I do not quite understand what to do next to put my system back
online.
Would you give me some ideas?
Thank you for yours time
Sincerely
Dr Roustem D.Saiakhov
The Answer is : Ensure that you have upgraded DECwindows to V1.2-3 or later, and that you have applied the available DECwindows ECO kit for the release in question. The OpenVMS Wizard would recommend continuing the OpenVMS Alpha upgrade to OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V7.1-2, or V7.2, and then applying DECwindows V1.2-4 or V1.2-5, and the associated DECwindows ECO kit.
