OpenVMS 7.2.2 or 7.3 operating system download

[berlioz]

Hello,
after a crash on an alpha server 800, i need operating system CDROM to reinstall some composants. (i don't find it anywhere in my archive)

Is there a way to download OpenVMS 7.2.2 or 7.3 operating system somewhere ?

thanks in advance

Yes, if you have a support contract, it SHOULD be possible( I had read it, but I never tester).

Simply ask HP, they can provide Vms 5.any or later.

Keep in mind that 7.2-2 or 7.3 are not supported versions, so I guess you will have to pay.

i just have a contract for hardware, not for software.



any other way ?

Philippe,

you may try to find a friendly OpenVMS system manager within your local DECUS (nowadays: Connect) organization, who may make a copy of the CD or otherwise help you out.

i've search all around me

but i just found recent versions (7.3.2, 8.x) or 6.2 but i can't find the 7.2 or 7.3 release that i need

May be I have that, I check...

i've a real problem.

if i upgrade my server to openvms 7.3.2 i also need to reinstall my oracle database and ... i also can't found ORACLE 8.1.7 Enterprise CDROM and there is no such distribution avaliable for download...

i've contacted oracle support because i believe that, according to your answers, it's the simple way
