The Question is: We have an Alpha 1200 DS20 System running OVMS 7.1-2 where the POLYCENTER SOFT. INST. UTILITY, PRODUCT, is unable to run anymore. Any PRODUCT command, gives the following error message: %PCSI-E-OPENOUT, error opening _DSA1 as output -PCSI-E-INVDSIPST1, destination device is not mounted or does not have an associated logical volume name %PCSI-E-S_OPFAIL, operation failed %PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error The system disk is a volume shadow set DSA1. I have re-installed OVMS 7.1-2 , preserving its contents, hoping that a possible missing file or file corruption would be cured. However, it continues the same. The problem disallows me to install any layered product or patch. How can I solve this problem? Thank you. Kind regards, E. Ojero/ Syst. Eng. The Answer is :
Please first acquire and install the current ECO kit for PCSI.
When installing or reconfiguring OpenVMS itself, you must install
while booted from the CD-ROM media.
If device names or device labels have changed, you will need to
use the PRODUCT REGISTER VOLUME command to reconfigure the disk
devices and particularly the disk volume labels stored in the
PCSI database to match the new system disk environment.
Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance.
Please expect to be asked the particular PCSI command(s) in use.
$ HELP/MESSAGE INVSPIDST1
INVSPIDST1, destination device is not mounted or does not have an
associated logical volume name
Facility: PCSI, POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility
Explanation: The POLYCENTER Software Installation utility uses the logical
volume name associated with a mounted device to record the
destination device of an installed product in the product
database. When a device is mounted, the MOUNT utility assigns
a logical name to the device. By default, the equivalence
string of this logical name is of the form DISK$volume-name,
but you can specify any string as an optional parameter on the
MOUNT command. The destination device you specified for the
PRODUCT command using either the /DESTINATION qualifier or the
logical name PCSI$DESTINATION refers to a device that either
is not mounted or does not have an associated logical volume
name.
User Action: If the device is not mounted, mount it and reenter the
command. If the device is mounted, dismount it and remount it
to recreate the logical volume name. You can view the logical
volume name for a mounted device by entering the following DCL
command:
WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETDVI("device-name","LOGVOLNAM")
