Several of these file names were written incorrectly by the following remedial kits. o DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721_DRIVER-V0200-4.PCSI o DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721_MANAGE-V0100-4.PCSI o DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721_VX1-V0200-4.PCSI o DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100-4.PCSI o DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721H1_ACRTL-V0200-4.PCSI During an OpenVMS Version 7.3 upgrade, operating system files from the previous version of OpenVMS are deleted. Because of these file errors, files from the newly installed system may be deleted. This may cause the system to become un-bootable. This kit will verify the integrity of the SYS$COMMON:[SYSUPD]VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT file and make the necessary file name corrections. The files corrected are as follows: Incorrect lines ---------------- [SYSLIB]SYS$ICBM.EXE VMS721_DRIVER-V0200 [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE VMS721_MANAGE-V0100 [SYS$LDR]SYS$GFDRIVER.EXE _OLD VMS721_VX1-V0200 [SYSEXE]SYS$CONFIG.DAT_0LD VMS721_VX1-V0200 [SYSLIB]DECC$SHR_OLD VMS721H1_ACRTL-V0200 [SYS$LDR]SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_2308.EXE VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100 [SYSEXE]SYS$SMHANDLER_SLAVE_2308.EXE VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100 Corrected Lines ---------------- [SYSLIB]SYS$ICBM.EXE_0LD VMS721_DRIVER-V0200 [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE_0LD VMS721_MANAGE-V0100 [SYS$LDR]SYS$GFDRIVER.EXE_OLD VMS721_VX1-V0200 [SYSEXE]SYS$CONFIG.DAT_OLD VMS721_VX1-V0200 [SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE_OLD VMS721H1_ACRTL-V0200 [SYS$LDR]SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_2308.EXE_OLD VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100 [SYSEXE]SYS$SMHANDLER_SLAVE_2308.EXE_OLD VMS721H1_CPU2308-V0100 Corrections Explained --------------------- -- COVER LETTER -- Page 3 12 July 2001 [SYSLIB]SYS$ICBM.EXE_OLD Add _OLD to name [SYSLIB]SMI$SHR.EXE_OLD Add _OLD to name [SYS$LDR]SYS$GFDRIVER.EXE_OLD Delete a space [SYSEXE]SYS$CONFIG.DAT_OLD Change 0 (zero) to O [SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE_OLD Add .EXE in name [SYS$LDR]SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_2308.EXE_OLD Add _OLD to name [SYSEXE]SYS$SMHANDLER_SLAVE_2308.EXE_OLD Add _OLD to name In the event this kit fails to execute, the renaming of the problem files can be done manually by performing the following steps: 1.
