OpenVMS Software Installation Release Notes
2.2 Installation and Upgrade Information Specific to Alpha
This error can occur either when you are upgrading Compaq TCP/IP Services as
part of an OpenVMS upgrade, or during a separate TCP/IP Services upgrade.
When the old version of TCP/IP Services is removed, it attempts to remove
the module UCX from the SDA Help library. However, if OpenVMS has been
upgraded since TCP/IP Services was installed, the SDA Help library has been
replaced by a new library and the UCX module that TCP/IP Services inserted
into the old SDA Help library is not found.
This problem can also occur if you attempt to remove Compaq TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS.
The workaround to upgrade or remove Compaq TCP/IP Services is to answer
"NO" to the question "Do you want to terminate?" A NO response allows the
operation to complete.
Note
Normally you should answer "YES" (the default) to the "Do you want
to terminate?" question unless Compaq (or another software provider)
specifically instructs you to answer otherwise.
2.2.6 Rolling Upgrades for MEMORY CHANNEL Configurations
V7.3
If you are performing a rolling upgrade from Version 7.1 (or a Version 7.1
variant) to Version 7.2 (or a Version 7.2 variant), or to Version 7.3, and are
using MEMORY CHANNEL adapters (CCMAA-xx), see Section 5.9.11 for special
instructions before you upgrade.
2.2.7 Using the Extended File Cache (XFC) in Mixed Version OpenVMS Cluster
Systems
V7.3
If you have an OpenVMS Cluster system that contains earlier versions of
OpenVMS Alpha or OpenVMS VAX and you want to use XFC with OpenVMS
Version 7.3, see Table 5–1 for a list of remedial kits you must install on the
systems that are running the earlier versions of OpenVMS.
2.2.8 X.25 Version 1.2 and Earlier Not Supported
V7.3
X.25 Version 1.2 and earlier will not operate on OpenVMS Version 7.3.
If you are planning to upgrade to OpenVMS Version 7.3, make sure you remove
X.25 Version 1.2 or earlier before you initiate the upgrade. Compaq recommends
that you install X.25 Version 1.5.
2.3 Installation and Upgrade Information Specific to VAX
The release notes in this section pertain only to installations or upgrades of
OpenVMS VAX operating systems. See Section 2.1 for additional notes that
