We try to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk.
We make the save booting on the OpenVMS V6.2 CDROM et we restore the system on another server (from alpha 2100 to alpha 1000 4/200).
The backup command we use, is
backup/image/ign=noback/log dka0: mkb500:fdisk0.bck/save/label=stand
After the first restore we try to make a conversationnal boot but we had an error message, "unable to find sysboot.exe"
We make the restore again, and no problem but during the upgrade whe have several message "ncp.exe, file not found", "sys$network_services.exe, file not found". The upgrade complete and when we search these files on the upgraded disk we are able to find it and their modification date are good.
Any idea about our problem?
Thanks in advance for your help
regards
Steph

Re: Problem to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk
Sorry, but I must disagree with you. 6.2 is in the 7.3 upgrade path. See http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6629/6629pro_006.html#upg_path
Steph, maybe there is some hardware problem? Have you figure out why the first restore fail?
The /ignore=nobackup is not needed for this operation (if you dont have some user files marked nobackup)

Re: Problem to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk
how did you restore the image backup? There can be a problem when a V6.2 save set is restored by a V7 BACKUP - it can loose directory entries like [000000]VMS$COMMON.DIR. I think the 'trick' is to use either /ALIAS or /NOALIAS (I never can remember which one is right, sorry) on the BACKUP command.

As Uwe mentioned there can be a problem in backup. Try to restore the backup with the 6.2 CD and then upgrade with the 7.3 CD.

Re: Problem to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk
We also make the restore with this CD-ROM:
BACKUP/IMAGE/IGNORE=LABEL/REW MKB500: DKA0:
We make the upgrade with openvms 7.3 CD-ROM.
Before and after each step, we have made an ANALYSE/DISK/REPAIR and there is no error.
We have sometimes during the upgrade
DKA0: is offline. Mount verification in progress
DKA0: has completed mount verification.
so we will try to change the disk.
But I feel that we have a problem with ALIAS on the VMS$COMMON.DIR.
How can we do to check this and eventually solve this problem?
thanks in advance for your help
regards
Steph
PS: I will assign point as soon as i have time for this. :o)

Re: Problem to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk
you should not see any mount verifications. It looks like you have a problem with you SCSI bus(es).

Re: Problem to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.3 on a restored system disk
dir/fu sys$sysdevice:[000000]vms$common.dir
dir/fu sys$sysdevice:[sys0]syscommon.dir
should be the same.
If you are getting the disk on/offline you may have a hardware problem. One issue I've seen with AS1000 is ensure the onboard scsi is properly terminated (may be connector on the back).
