Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

Yes, we are seeing this problem on an 8.2 system too. We have decided that we will be updating it to 8.2-1 to resolve the problem.

Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

Please note the following correction:


The 'solution' seems to be hidden in VMS82I_MOUNT96-V0100, which brings a new SYSINIT.EXE, which contains the code to set the system time.


There is a typo ! I should have correctly referenced this patch kit as:

VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0100 (for V8.2-1H1).

There seems to be NO patch available for OpenVMS I64 V8.2, which provides a new SYSINIT.EXE to fix this problem.

Sorry 'bout that,

Volker.

Pedantic Alert... There isn't an V8.2-1H1. The progression on OpenVMS I64 is V8.2, V8.2-1, V8.3, and V8.3-1H1 is (at least for now) current.

Hoff,

thanks ;-(

But I at least got the patch name right this time: VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0100 (for V8.2-1)

Hi, I have the same problem on two Rx2620 servers, but I can't find the mentioned patch. Where can I find that one?

Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

We recently had a disk drive error on the system running VMS V8.2. After I restored the backup I decided to apply the most recent patches. After I installed VMS82I_SYS-0500 I was not prompted for the time on reboot. We haven't had a reboot since then, so I don't know how permanent it is, but it is hopeful.

@Marco Riccardo Napoleone:

Are you referring to the VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0100 for V8.2-1? I can't find that particular version, but the one that supersedes it (VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0200) is available from the ITRC or at:

ftp://g1u1297.austin.hp.com/openvms_patches/i64/V8.2-1/VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0200.ZIPEXE

ftp://g1u1297.austin.hp.com/openvms_patches/i64/V8.2-1/VMS821I_MOUNT96-V0200.txt

@Richard Whalen:

That is good news -- I'll have to try VMS82I_SYS-0500 -- when you installed it, did you also install VMS82I_DCL-V0100? The latter is marked as "should also be installed" but not as "must be installed" under the dependencies section in the cover letter...

Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

I installed VMS82I_PCSI-V0100, VMS82I_UPDATE-V0600, VMS82I_LAN-V0100, VMS82I_RMS-V0200 and VMS82I_SYS-V0500. Since the patch database lists the patches in reverse chronological order this is what appeared to be the set that would get the system "fully patched".

Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

Thanks for the info, but curse you just the same for posting it -- because of the reboot required, this is going to ruin my uptime score :) :) :)

Re: OpenVMS 8.2-1 on HP Itanium RX2620 keep asking to enter date & time

Thanks to all. Tomorrow I will try to install the above patches, but I am disoriented because my servers run OpenVMS 8.3 instead of 8.2.1, but I have the same problem. I didn't find any 8.3 patches!
