Problem with VMS83A_UPDATE V6.0

Martin Vorlaender — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:36:53 GMT

Hi!

After installing VMS83A_UPDATE V6.0, the debugger won't start any more (see attached).

I first thought the contained VMS83A_DEBUG V1.0 is the culprit, but when I installed it on its own, everything was fine.

Just FYI.

cu,
Martin

Thank you for posting this. Saved me some headache as I was about to deploy on my development system. I've been able to duplicate the problem on my test system.

Thanks a lot, Martin!

I installed the DEBUG ECO w/o UNDO the UPDATE, it's look to be work.

I've seen something about this within HP today, so it appears as though someone may be looking at this already.

I have heard, that first updating VMS83A_UPDATE V6.0 and then VMS83A_DEBUG V1.0
could work. I can't confirm this for my platform AXP1000, at least if one does
some other patch installations inbetween.

Hi,

This problem was reported yesterday but for the VMS83A_SYS-V0700 patch kit. That kit was not included in the VMS83A_UPDATE-V0600 kit, the VMS83A_SYS-V0600 kit was. So, at this point, it's not clear what kit is the culprit. Engineering is looking at it. Depending on their initial evaluation I expect to be putting one or both kits on hold until they can research this further.

Eeek!

That'll teach me to not install multiple ECOs at once (and then blame the biggest one ;-)

I'll wait what Engineering finds out.

VMS83A_SYS V8.0 has appeared, fixing this problem.

Thanks.
