We had a drive fail in our Alpha 1000A, and now when we try to access UCX we get this error.
[code:1:ea80205909]
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activation image UCX$CFS_SHR
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file $1$DRA0:[SYSLIB]UCX$CFS_SHR.EXE;1
-SYSTEM-F-PROTINSTALL, protected images must be installed
[/code:1:ea80205909]
We are not sure if this is due to the drive failure or not. We are trying to reconfigure the IP address so we can get the data off this system.
This system was working before we moved it from its old location to our main site so we could get the data off it. I guess the drive failed during transportation, and is causing the other problem. We are not sure what was on the failed drive, but hope it was not anything important.
Seems we might have a spare drive around somewhere for this thing too, but anything on that drive is probably toast. That drive was not in any raid sets so it must not have been very important.
None of us are familiar with the OpenVMS system or Alpha Servers so is there any documentation on how to configure TCP/IP, and possibly troubleshoot this?
