overlay_krb5kit.com wanted.... for VMS 7.3-2 upgrade

[Tiina Ayris]

Hi all, I'm stuck in a 'gotcha'.
Trying to upgrade an AS4100 from VMS7.3-1 to VMS7.3-2.
Booted from the 732 CD ok, answered a bunch of questions, ending up along the lines with:-

Manual installation required for vms7.3-1.
Copy Kerberos pcsi kit into a new directory, extract & run overlay_krb5kit.com:
$product extract file kerberos/source = [] /dest = [] /select=overlay_krb5kit.com
$@overlay_krb5kit.com

The installation fails, and I'm back at the menu.
Tried option 6, deleting the product, in which Kerberos came in at number 15. After that, the installation behaved exactly the same.
Did find HP-AXPVMS-KERBEROS-V0100--6.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1 on VMS732 CD, but the above $product extract file command did not extract anything.
The URL specified in Kerberos manual (hp open source security for vms vol 3), leads to new versions of kerberos.

The most annoying bit is that we don't actually use Kerberos, and it was installed by default with VMS7.3-1. No post-installation tasks were done to it. Little did I know...

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Tiina

This would be the issue described here
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/6668/6668pro_001.html#index_x_40
in the V7.3-2 release notes I guess.

There it says remove it using option 6 before doing the upgrade which you did.

Do you have the DCE_030_SSRT3608 V1.0 patch kit
installed? - there was a customer advistory
VO040122_CW03
which says install the VMS731_PCSI-V0200 patch kit and then perform the upgrade.

you get that PCSI patch kit from
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V7.3-1/VMS731_PCSI-V0200.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE
