Hello Wang,

welcome in the forum and to VMS. I am sure you will find the community supportive and helpful.

As for your particular problem, which steps
did you perform to "install" the patch? In particular was needs to be done is

1.) Decompress the kit by executing
run VMS731_PCSI-V0200.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE

2.) Actually install it by executing
product install vms731_pcsi

After these two steps finished without error you should be able to see the patch with
product show hist.

If this does not solve your problem please post the output of the product install and product show hist commands.

Greetings, Martin

hp have always been rather lacking in their install instructions for VMSxxx_PCSI-Vxxxx.PCSI kits.

While they correctly say you do not need a reboot, you DO usually need to log out and back in, to do any further work with the 'product' command.

Wang,
it sounds like each system has its own system disk and so its own license database. Now, license operations use the distributed lock manager and work cluster-wide.

If that is the case I suggest you put all licenses into one central database on a shared disk in your cluster - else, enter all licenses into one license database and copy this to each system disk.

Hi Wang,

I agree with Uwe, additionally you actually
might want to
def/sys/exec lmf$license

as well as a couple of logicals for other central system files like sysuaf et al. to make sure you have consistent versions in the cluster.
