The upgrade paths say that we can upgrade from 7.1-2 to 7.3-1.
When I try to boot -flags 0,0 dka400
I get a crashdump and warning HWRPB invalid.
Does anyone know what ECO/ Hardware patch I need to apply?
Has anyone successfully upgraded an Alphaserver 800?
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Upgrading Alphaserver 800 on VMS 7.1-2 to VMS 7.3
Despite the fact your in the wrong forum....
I have a AS800 here running VMS 7.3-1, so it should work.
Verify that you have SRM console firmware V5.8-16, if not, first do a firmware upgrade.

Re: Upgrading Alphaserver 800 on VMS 7.1-2 to VMS 7.3
I am running an AlphaServer 800 as my home server at 7.3-1 and intend to upgrade to 7.3-2 as soon as I can get my hands on the media ;-)
Make sure you are at the latest firmware. You should have received the firmware CD along with the OS. Just boot it and follow the instructions.
Greetings, Martin

Re: Upgrading Alphaserver 800 on VMS 7.1-2 to VMS 7.3
problem is in firmware; I happened same with older AS400 and after upgrade SRM it0s works fine.
Look at your CD, you have a firmware CD. Upgrade is ver simple to make.

Re: Upgrading Alphaserver 800 on VMS 7.1-2 to VMS 7.3
from 7.2-1 or 7.3-1 cd's.
SRM is at V5.8-16 (july 24 2000)
PAL code is V1.21-3
ARC Console v5.70
Decchip 21164A-2 500Mhz
MB revision 54-24803-02 Rev A
HWRPB is at 2000
Is there a later SRM? I can't seem to find any?
Does it matter what ECO's have been installed

SolutionPalcode and Console version are current. These are the same ones I do have on my AS800 under my desk right now. The next thing to check in case of CD boot problems is the CD-Rom drive. What type is in your box. There are often problems with third party models that work once VMS is up, but cannot be used to boot.

Re: Upgrading Alphaserver 800 on VMS 7.1-2 to VMS 7.3
I have an old BA364 box connected to my DEC3000-300. Above the 4 SBB slots there is room for a CD-ROM drive. I do recall that I had to throw out a RRD47 drive, too, because I could not boot from it (it was around late 1996 and the OS was V7.0 or 7.1 if I recall correctly). There is still an RRD46 mounted in the box...
