3418.0. "ELM V1.2 installation failure" by HAZARD::BAKER (Paul Baker, UK Product and Technology Group - 844 3311) Thu Jul 23 1992 13:22

    I tried installing the new ELM AM kit (SSB version) on a V1.2 mcc
    system with VMS A5.5 system (VAX 4000 mod 200, with 32Mb memory).
    
    The installation took much longer than the FT 1.2.7 kit. Is this
    normal? 
    
    Also, it failed the IVP with a
    
    mcc-e-inv_in_entity, software error - invalid in_entity (input entity)
    parameter 
    
    while testing the FDDI AM.
    
    The command issued was
    
    	manage/enter test mcc 0 FDDI_AM, to file mccelm$out.txt.
    
    This problem has occurred on several similar systems, all with the same
    config.
    
    The FT version instals without problems.
    
    I havn't tried the FM kit yet.
    
    Anyone any ideas??
    
    Paul.

    Yes.  The entity code for FDDI was changed by the Powers That Be in
    Their Infinite Wisdom. :-)

    Please see note 3236 for details.  It's important that you read this
    note before proceeding.  [The details are also in the ELM release
    notes.]

    Please do not install DECmcc ELM T1.2.7 on V1.2 of the MCC base system. 
    Your note makes it sound like this is what you did.

    After reading note 3236 and deregistering/saving your FDDI entities,
    the fastest solution to your immediate problem would be to re-install
    DECmcc BMS V1.2 SSB (or Director) and then install DECmcc ELM AM V1.2
    SSB.  The times for these are approximately 40 minutess to install BMS,
    and 25 minutes to install ELM AM.
