X86VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM renders system unbootable

[vkorkko]

I had a nasty surprise because of this nice tool

sys$system:X86VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM

I have of course used its ALPHA ja I64 counterparts over the years many times to create the "STANDALONE BACKUP" like enviroment of VAX/VMS. OF course this newer on ALPHA and I64 was so much better

I used it same was I always had used on ALPHA and I64.
But on X86 it produces huge number of errors and the result disk IS NOT BOOTABLE

to make things even worse, my current system was also rendered unbootable along the way.

Problem is trivially reproducable. I have seen it now on both E9.2-3 and V9.2-2

The broken system disk appears to be NOT repairable. I.e. I had to reinstall from scratch because I did not yet have a backup of this newly installed systrem..

On the "Oracle VIRTUALBOX" play system I had number of bootable disks, one for E9.2-3 and one for V9.2-2
so there recovery was so much easier.


So here is execution of said procedure to build the "standalone like env"


Juhani> @SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]X86VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM;1


This procedure will allow you to install OpenVMS X86-64 with no options
on a disk other than your regular system disk. You can then boot
from the other disk to backup your system disk.

You must enter the device name for the target disk. Before this
procedure is run, the target disk must be mounted privately to this
process. This means that it must not be mounted with /SYSTEM,
/CLUSTER, /GROUP or /SHARE qualifiers. It also must not be mounted
with the /FOREIGN qualifier. If any of these qualifiers were used
when the disk was mounted, dismount it and re-mount it without them.

(If you need to MOUNT enter Ctrl/Y to exit.)


Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) DKA4 $1$DKA4:

ldr$load_image: Failed to open image SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE, status = 00000910

%SYSBOOT-F-LDFAIL, Execlet SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE not found and not loaded, status: 00000910

%SYSBOOT-F-LDFAIL, Unable to load SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE, status: 00000910


reproduced on V9.2-2, originally happened to me on E9.2-3.


So in here the originally good boot disk was DKA0 and build target was DKA4 and neither of them are bootable after this. This was on real genuine hardware but reproduced same issue also on ORACLE VBOX machine too

There's already an open issue on x86vms$pcsi_install_min but I just added a pointer to this thread to possibly bump the priority.

   I didn't check all of these files, but the first few (and I'd guess
all of them) are symlinks to the Memory Disk.  For example (V9.2-2):

V87 $ dire /size sys$sysdevice:[VMS$COMMON.][SYS$LDR]ACME.EXE

Directory SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.][SYS$LDR]

ACME.EXE;1 -> /SYS$MD24075233439F/VMS$COMMON/SYS$LDR/ACME.EXE
[...]

   I know nothing, but I would not be amazed if PCSI had trouble with
those.

   That's worse, of course.

> ldr$load_image: Failed to open image SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE, status = 00000910

V87 $ exit %x00000910
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file

   Another symlink to the Memory Disk:

V87 $ dire /size sys$library:SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE          

Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]

SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE;1 ->
 /SYS$MD24075233439F/VMS$COMMON/SYSLIB/SYS$PUBLIC_VECTORS.EXE
[...]

   Perhaps X86VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM (or its friends) got confused
between the MD on the source disk and the MD on the target disk?

[m_detommaso]

According to the release notes, VSI OpenVMS x86-64 - starting from version V9.2 - does not currently support minimal operating system installation on a non-system disk.

Below is an excerpt from the VMS x86 V9.2-2 documentation:

""STABACKIT.COM Deprecated

SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT.COM has been been deprecated in VSI OpenVMS x86-64. The STABACKIT functionality originally supported Standalone Backup for VAX systems and has long been replaced by SYS$SYSTEM:AXPVMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM for OpenVMS Alpha and SYS$SYSTEM:I64VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM for OpenVMS Integrity systems. The referenced command procedures produce a minimal installation of OpenVMS on a target device which may be booted to allow a full backup of the system disk. STABACKIT would offer to run the appropriate procedure for you.

VSI OpenVMS x86-64 V9.2-2 currently does not support minimal installation of the operating system on a non-system disk. Backup options for virtual machines include the ability to perform backup from the host operating system and the ability to checkpoint or clone within the hypervisor. One may also boot from the installation media and choose the DCL subprocess menu entry to perform a backup of the system device."

   And yet, X86VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM _was_ included in the kit, and
it pretends to do useful work.

> STABACKIT.COM Deprecated

   Don't care.  Not a VAX.  On the bright side, the V9.2-2
sys$update:STABACKIT.COM does say:

      On OpenVMS x86_64 virtual machines, the system disk may be backed up
      by making copies on the host machine or by booting the installation
      medium and selecting the DCL option.

And it doesn't run anything.  But, not being on a VAX, I wouldn't have
run it.  I might, however, have looked for a
SYS$SYSTEM:<arch>VMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM, and found one of those which
looked suitable.  But STABACKIT.COM would have been yet another place to
put a warning about possible system-disk corruption by the obvious tool.
