Advanced server 7.3B no longer available??

Hi all,
I've tried to download Advanced Server 7.3B from the ITRC web site but I get the message below, anyone know why it is no longer available?

Hewlett-Packard regrets the item(s) listed below are no longer available:
/superseded_patches/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/ADVANCSERV-V0703-B.ZIP

Gerry,

they are correct - the kit is not in the superseded_patches area.

It's available from ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/ADVANCEDSERVERJA-V0703-B.ZIP

cu,

I don't use the web interface into ITRC, I tend to use the direct ftp path.

The patch you're looking for seems to be available at the ftp site ftp.itrc.hp.com in the path:

/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/ADVANCSERV-V07-3-B.ZIP

Advanced Server was replaced by SMB/CIFS/Samba as the upgrade and enhancement path, and that is available for download from:

Slight correction to Martin's post -- unless you want the Japanese version, get:

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/ADVANCSERV-V0703-B.ZIP

This contains a .PCSI$COMPRESSED file which seems a bit redundant (to me, anyway) and has screwed me up when trying to install on pre-V7.3-2 -- I'll start another thread about this.

Thanks all, I've downloaded it from the FTP site.

Doug, I installed it on VMS 7.3 and it didnt like it as it was a compressed file, but after I installed the latest PCSI patch it installed ok.

Regards,
Gerry
