Upgrading to openvms 9.2.2 on Virtualbox

Post by thorleif » Wed Mar 20, 2024 2:52 pm

Hello
I tried booting from X860922OE.ISO to upgrade to OPENVMS 9.2.2. I used PRESERVED because I had installed some layerd product on OPENVMS 9.2.1 but when I rebooted It did not install.
$ sh sys
OpenVMS V9.2-1 on node VENUS 20-MAR-2024 18:30:31.25 Uptime 0 01:05:02
Pid Process Name State Pri I/O CPU Page flts Pages
0

Am I doing something wrong

Thanks,
Thorleifur

Code: Select all

   I assume so, but, with my weak psychic powers, I can't see what you
did.

   Ok.  Which disk did you tell it to upgrade?  Any interesting
messages?

> [...] when I rebooted It did not install.

   From which disk did you reboot?

I saw the solution in a other post. IT was to uninstall Openssh. It can be done in the install menu. Now it is ok,
$ sh sys
OpenVMS V9.2-2 on node VENUS 20-MAR-2024 20:24:43.14 Uptime 0 01:10:38


Thanks,

I'm glad you got it working, but the next time you post something that is asking for help, please post a log file of whatever failure you've received.
