7.2-1 to 7.3-2. For the upgrade, I created a dir on the userdisk(dka100:) to
hold all the patches for 7.3-2 as below.
Code: Select all
$ create/dir dka100:[system]
I downloaded several patches such as:
VMS732_UPDATE-V0200
DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0504
VMS732_DCL-V0200
VMS732_LIBRTL
...
When I tried to do an image backup of the userdisk, the dev (dka100:) went
offline and went into a mountverify loop. I tried this twice and both times
the backup made it to the dka100:[system] dir that I had created and then went
offline. I then booted mi
n and did anal/disk/repair dka100: and it was clean. I then mounted the disk
privately and tried backup dka100: mkb600:.... and the same thing happened. I
then deleted the dir and all patches and the image backup ran just fine. My
question is, was it the
dir [system] or the patches the caused the device to go offline? I can try and
get a test box to test this on but just wanted your thoughts.
