I have an openvms 7.1 system running under freeaxp, and want to be able to use the HP availabity manager.
I do have correctly install data collector which is distributed as
HP-VMS-AVAIL_MAN_COL-V0301--1.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE
but in order to use the analizr installed on PC I need also to install the availability dataserver on the alpha
the problem is that this package is distributed only as PCSI$COMPRESSED file
HP-AXPVMS-AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR-V0301--1.PCSI$COMPRESSED
and on my openvms 7.1 my polycenter is:
POLYCENTER Software Installation utility version: V7.2-108
Product Configuration File (PCF) support level: 1
Product Description File (PDF) support level: 5
Product Text File (PTF) support level: 2
I've try to uncopress on alpha openvms 8.3 but the produced PCSI file is then not recognized by POLYCENTER on alpha under OPENVMS 7.1
The following product has been selected:
HP AXPVMS AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.1 Layered Product
Do you want to continue? [YES]
Configuration phase starting ...
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and for
any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency requirements.
HP AXPVMS AVAIL_MAN_ANA_SRVR V3.1: HP Availability Manager Data Analyzer Version 3.1
License and Product Authorization Key (PAK) Information
%SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
%PCSI-E-EXEPRCFAIL, product supplied EXECUTE PRECONFIGURE procedure failed
-SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name
%PCSI-E-S_OPFAIL, operation failed
%PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error condition
I've try to get polycenter update but donot find it.
Does somebody have a solution for me????
Thanks

RE: How to install product distributed as pcsi$compressed under OPENVMS 7.1
Images builti on VMS 8.3 have little hope of running on VMS 7.1.
You can use product extract on the VMS 8.3 system to take the kit apart and then figure out how to install it manually on VMS 7.1.
Since the PCSI procedure needs a later version though, I doubt that the images inside will work on VMS 7.1.
You might as on comp.os.vms if someone can provide you with an older version of Availability Manager. IIRC it was included on the VMS distribution media.
