I understand the error messages, but it is not entirely clear to me why that is
happening.

The file VMI$KWD:SYSMAN.COM is created by the installation procedure itself and
then after executing it, the file is deleted.  If the delete fails, then I
suspect that something unusual is happening on your system.

A couple of possibilities might be:
  1. Do a DIR/OWNER on the file after the failure.  Is the owner the account
     that ran VMSINSTAL?  If not, perhaps the protections on parent directories
     are not set up right so that when the file is created, it gets created with
     an owner other than the current account.

  2. Is the process default protection set to an unusual setting which would
     disallow a file to be created then deleted without an intervening
     SET PROTECTION command?  You can check this by logging into that account
     and creating then deleting a file... any file.

  3. Is there another process running concurrently that might be performing
     installations or setting protections on the files your
     process created?  The message "file currently locked by another user"
     implies it is a possibility.

  4. Was there any other unusual system activity at the time of installation.

  5. Did you run this from a privileged account?  (I think VMSINSTAL ensures
     it)

  6. There was a bug that was discovered in the KITINSTAL in the vicinity of
     where you are having trouble.  It was caused by SYSMAN not returning a
     value for the logical SYS$SYSDEVICE on any one of the nodes in your
     cluster.  You could test that by saying SHOW LOGICAL SYS$SYSDEVICE on
     each cluster node.  If any of the nodes gives an error, then perhaps
     that bug is what is at play here.

I have a customer reporting the same problem as in the basenote.  Can
anyone tell me what the resolution was on the original post?  I
asked the customer to try the items  in .1, but it didn't help much.

Any more suggestions?

    The plot thickens...  The KITINSTAL.COM in CC055 has a bug!

    $       read/error=done infile other_nodes_disk
    $       other_nodes_disk = f$edit(other_nodes_disk,"TRIM,UPCASE")
    $       if other_nodes_disk .eqs. my_sysdisk
    $       then
    $               write sysman_file "set env /node=(''node_context')"

    $       endif
    $ endif
    $ goto more_lines
    
    "read/error=done" causes the %DCL-W-USGOTO errors as there is NO
    "done:" label!  Add a "done:" label in the appropriate place and
    no error.
    
    For my customer this failure was the result of SYSMAN not reporting
    information back correctly, in this case:
    
      SYSMAN> set env/cluster
      SYSMAN> do write sys$output
      f$parse("SYS$SYSDEVICE",,,"DEVICE","NO_CONCEAL")
      %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node CHIC02
      $3$DIA6:
      %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node CHIC01
      $1$DKA0:
      %SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node DCDEMO
      SYSMAN>
    
    You note on the last command execution nothing is returned!  It does
    not matter which command is issued or if you perform a "DO" command
    on just node DCDEMO, nothing is returned.
    
    To workaround the problem you have two options:
    
      Fix the SYSMAN reporting problem
    
      Modify KITINSTAL.COM, I did the following and did not verify
      if it is the correct change:
    
    $ endif
    $done:
    $ goto more_lines
    $done_nodes:
    
    I just added a "$done:" where I think it should be.
    
    Please let me know if a formal SPR is needed for this to be fixed
    in a future release of DEC C.

  The files could not be deleted from the VMI$KWD: because the command
  procedure had them open!
