Version requirements for ECO kits?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am currently running Open VMS version 7.1 and when attempting to install
the upgrade patch VMS72_UPDATE, I get the following errors :
 
%PCSI-E-PDFFIL, the following errors are in file
ALPHA1$DRA0:[SYS0.][SYSMGR]DEC-AXPVMS
-VMS72_UPDATE-V0200--4.PCSI;1
    5       execute preconfigure "@PCSI$SOURCE:[SYSUPD]SYS$SPECIFIC.COM"
interactive u
ses [SYSUPD]SYS$SPECIFIC.COM ;
%PCSI-E-PDFUDK, undefined keyword
  142       execute postinstall "@PCSI$SOURCE:[SYSUPD]PCSI_POSTINSTALL.COM"
interactiv
e uses [SYSUPD]PCSI_POSTINSTALL.COM ;
%PCSI-E-PDFUDK, undefined keyword
%PCSI-E-PROCTERM, processing terminated due to previous error
%PCSI-E-S_OPFAIL, operation failed
%PCSIUI-E-ABORT, fatal error encountered - operation terminated
 
 - How can I get rid of these errors and perform the upgrade successfully ?
 
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  ECO kits for V7.2 do not, should not, and can not apply to V7.1.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard suggests an upgrade to V7.1-2 or V7.2-1, and
  then apply the appropriate (necessary) ECO kit(s) targeted for
  the particular OpenVMS release.
 
  Also note that OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2 and later use PCSI for all
  OpenVMS Alpha ECO kits.  Earlier OpenVMS Alpha releases and all
  OpenVMS VAX releases use VMSINSTAL for OpenVMS ECO kits.
