Re: How to upgrade VMS7.3-2 to V8.3 without reinstall the system
you can choose PRESERVE option while installing.
PRESERVE option installs or upgrades OpenVMS I64 on the target disk and retains all other contents of the target disk.

Select PRESERVE option for the below question during upgrade.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE]
Please refer the below link which explains the steps to upgrade the machine from lower version to higher.

Hope this helps.

Re: How to upgrade VMS7.3-2 to V8.3 without reinstall the system
The primary documentation page link for HP OpenVMS:
http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/doc
This is the central documentation link for OpenVMS; for OpenVMS itself and for various HP layered products.
In addition to what has been posted earlier, ensure that you have a full system disk backup and a full backup of any other local data that's critical to your operations before you start the upgrade; a booted CD copy of your system disk via BACKUP /IMAGE, or other analogous means. If you're running production, you'll need a test environment, and a way to recover if the upgrade fails or if V8.3 fails.
You can then get a list of patches with this DCL command:
$ DIRECTORY/FTP/ANONYMOUS -
ftp.itrc.hp.com::"/openvms_patches/alpha/V8.3"
You'll want the PCSI patch, the current UPDATE patch, and potentially a few others.

Are you looking for _patches_ which will let
you upgrade the OS? Patches don't do that.
You need the (V8.3) VMS installation kit, not
a set of patches.
(After you've done the OS upgrade, _then_ you
can worry about the patches for VMS V8.3.)

You may also wish to review VMS 8.4 which is now available.

Re: How to upgrade VMS7.3-2 to V8.3 without reinstall the system
Once you get to V8.3 the same holds true. I'd load any available PCSI patch first, then UPDATE and check the Master Index file saved at the Alpha O/S-specific patch location to see what's newer and apply what makes sense for your site.
As far as 'what makes sense' for your site? None of the patch evaluation tools check configuration for those specifics. Both Propatch and it's replacement base their analysis on image information alone. It would still be the system manager's decision what gets loaded and not based on their configuration knowledge.
