951.0. "DECdfs 2.2 and Ovms 7.1" by EVTAI1::LEREUIL () Tue May 27 1997 18:00

	After my customer upgrading an Alphastatiuon 255 from OVMS 6.2 to V7.1 ,
    	and Alphasserver 4100 7.1 
	these errors messages appears :

        System> @sys$startup:dfs$startup.com
      % DECdfs starting up...
      %DCL-I-SUPERSEDE, previous value of DFS$MAX_ATTRIBUTE has been superseded
      ? DFS startup failure.  VMS version mismatch.
      % DFS was installed for OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 and does not support unknown
      % Please reinstall DFS to correct this problem.

	So, I attempted to re-install DFS, only to reproduce the same error 
	when the installation attempts to startup DFS 

	How can I get DECdfs running on my OVMS 7.1 ?

	I would like to know if I can provide the FT DECdfs kit 2.2-3
	for my customer , and if there is any support for this FT version 
	(until customer install the SSB version) ?.

	Another way should be to provide the 2.2-2 by the ECO kit DECDFS02_022
	and modify F$LOCATE for the sys_ver into dfs$startup.com .
	
	Does we support this Workaround ?

    	Do I need to create an IPMT ?
    
	Thanks in advance for your quick help

    Is anyone out there? Can we get DECDFS running with OpenVMS 7.1
    (Alpha or VAX) ?
    
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the pointer! 
    
      We are attempting to place DECDFS into a production cluster
    environment on serveral V7.1 OpenVMS "servers" which will allow two
    (non-cluster members) OpenVMS V6.1 "clients" to access drives. 
    
      Since this kit for V7.1 is relatively new, I am a little bit nervous
    about commiting to this product. Does anyone have any customers
    successfuly utilizing this product on V7.1?
    
    Thanks again,
    
    Bob
