Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
At the time the backups were made on an optical disc drive RWZ52 on a server on OpenVMS Alpha 6.2 Using DIGITAL Optical Storage Desktop Software (OSDS).
I got the old optical drive, an old AlphaServer 1000A on OpenVMS Alpha 6.2-1H3, software distribution in OpenVMS Alpha Software Product Library from June 1995 but I can not find the necessary license for the installation.
Where can I get one even temporarily?
Is there another way to read these tapes?
Thank you in advance

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
don't you have a backup of the original system disk ?
Exactly which license (PAK product name) do you need ?
You may want to contact me offline, see my ITRC profile.

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
Hurra !!! i've find in archive the right DIGITAL software license certificate for OSDS.
But now, after installation of OSDS 3.2, my server crash at boot time when connecting wd device (bugcheck)
What's the problem : unsupported hardware for OSDS version ?
I don't find any where else OSDS distribution for OpenVMS alpha 6.2-1H3.
The only version i have is OSDS 3.4 but it need openVMS 7.1.
What is the right version that i need ?
Is there a place to download the right product ?
Im my configuration is it necessary to upgrade OpenVMS ?

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
to just read files from optical disks, the OpenVMS Alpha version should NOT really matter. If OSDS V3.4 requires OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, I'd say: time for an upgrade or find an older version of OSDS, which works with V6.2.
If there is a complete application involved, which had only run on V6.2 in the past, things may be different.

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
there have been previous versions of OSDS on the LP CDs:
Use http://de.openvms.org/spl.php and search for 'OSDS' and select 'all kits'.

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
the UPI for OSDS is 0U9AB.
It looks like you need OSDS V3.4 (instead of V3.4A) shipped 21.02.1997 on 1997Q1 LP CDs.
You can get this kind of information from the following page:
http://h30266.www3.hp.com/ProductUpdateHistory.shtml
Combined with the de.openvms.org CD SPL search, you can find out, which LP CDs contained this version. Then you only need to find those CDs (from MAR-1997 or JUN-1997 or even V3.2 or V3.3 shipped until DEC-1996).
I bet there are no public downloads for those old versions.
Why don't you jsut upgrade to OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 ?
Volker.

Re: Read old backup on Optical disk (RWZ52 device) with OSDS
I know that i can't upgrade directly from 6.2 to 7.3-2
Is it possible from 6.2 to 7.2-2 ?
