3739.0. "Minimum VMS Version 5.4 or 5.5-2 ?" by TROOA::LFUNG () Thu Jan 06 1994 21:24

    hi,
    
    There is a little bit confusion here, in the ALL-IN-1 V3.0 installation
    guide the minimum VMS version is V5.4 but on the SPD of ALL-IN-1 V3.0
    the minimum VMS version is V5.5-2. The customer, who wants to upgrade
    thier existing ALL-IN-1 V2.3 system to V3.0, is at VMS V5.4-3 and
    they are not sure whether they should upgrade to VMS V6.1 (the most 
    current version) or stick with V5.4-3.
    
    Would anyone clarify this for me ?
    and will ALL-IN-1 V3.0 run OK on VMS V6.1 ? 
    
    Regards,
    Lucia

3739.1AI1 V2.3 and VMS 6.1TROOA::LFUNGThu Jan 06 1994 21:3621
    One more question, if upgrade of VMS to V6.1 is required, will ALL-IN-1
    V2.3 work with VMS V6.1 ? if so after VMS upgrade to V6.1 I believe the
    customer has to relink the ALL-IN-1 V2.3 image. 
    So the upgrade from ALL-IN-1 V2.3 to V3.0 procedure in this case will
    be:
    1. Upgrade VMS to V6.1
    2. Relink ALL-IN-1 V2.3 image
    3. Test the system to make sure the system is running OK under VMS V6.1
    4. Upgrade FMS from V2.3 to V2.4
    5. Upgrade Message Router and VMS Gateway from V3.1b to V3.2
    6. Relink ALL-IN-1 V2.3 image 
    7. Test the system to make sure the system is running OK
       with new version of FMS and Message Router
    8. Upgrade ALL-IN-1 from V2.3 to V3.0
    9. Test the system to make sure the system is running OK with the
       ALL-IN-1 V3.0
     
    Any input is much appreciated.

3739.2Not a difficult questionAIMTEC::WICKS_AAtlanta's Most (In)famous WelshmanThu Jan 06 1994 21:4221
    Lucia,
    
    there's no confusion - honest. 
    
    Remember the Installation Guide was published in early 1992 when v5.4 was 
    hot stuff. The SPD has just been updated and rereleased with the addition 
    of Core Services and the TLC and so that's going to go with the latest 
    minimum version of VMS supported by either which is v5.5-2 (because TLC 
    requires it)
    
    so the questions to ask are:
    1) is the customer installing TLC if so it's v5.5-2 or v6.0
       (v6.1 will not ship til April so they'd better not install that)
    2) if the customer is not installing TLC then go to 5.4-3 which is
       the minimum now supported by OpenVMS engineering/CSC
    
    Simple eh.?
    
    Regards,
