Older VMS versions
I really need to do a rolling upgrade, being able to always cluster my systems through the whole process.
Any suggestions on where to get media for 7.2-1, 7.3-1, and 7.3-2? I've got some specific hardware support issues that really push me toward that particular upgrade path.

Re: Older VMS versions
Also, V7.2-2 is a better version from which to upgrade than V7.2-1; I believe a direct upgrade from V7.2-2 to V7.3-2 is supported.

If you e-mail me, I can provide a vendor who can lay his hands on media kits. See my profile for contact info. There's also a few consultants here as well. HP frowns on advertising in the forums.

Re: Older VMS versions
Can you be more specific as to the "hardware support issues" that of concern. That would aid the research as to the correct path.

Re: Older VMS versions
Think you'll be best advised to follow the already suggested upgrade paths above.
Have fun!

Re: Older VMS versions
I would have to dig through my library, but I also have a collection of distribution kits for the various versions.
As has been noted, the -1 and -2 kits are generally roll-ups of patches. For a production environment, I always recommend that clients invest in the due diligence. If certain patches are required before a node can join the cluster, it is straightforward to go through the patch process before the system disk is used to join the cluster (note that this can be done on an offline test system and the resulting disk image can then be moved to cluster accessible storage).
If I can be of assistance, please let me know.
