OpenMVS MSA Utility

Eric Dittman — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:52:33 GMT

I'm trying to get a copy of MSA$UTIL (not MSA_UTIL). The link I've found (http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/MSA) is not valid. Searching the HP website doesn't return any results (the closest is a page that mentions MSA$UTIL and provides links to download ACUXE).

Does anyone have the new link? I need it for V7.3-2 on an Alpha.

This utility is a part of the update kits VMS732_UPDATE-V1500 or VMS732_UPDATE-V1400

The update kits are available to download from the ITRC patch website.

I'd still like to find the link for the standalone install kits for cases where the update kits can't be installed right away.

Eric,

MSA$UTIL is actually part of VMS732_FIBRE_SCSI-V1300 (which requires VMS732_UPDATE-V1300) and in further update kits.

Which means, loosely translated, pull down the PCSI kit and use a PRODUCT command to extract the executable file.

I know how to extract the files I need but having the standalone kits is faster (one PRODUCT INSTALL vs. a PRODUCT EXTRACT FILE with a list of the files and then a copy of the files to the appropriate locations).

No big deal, I guess, I'm just surprised the standalone kits were pulled.
