Re: [nv-l] 7.1.3 FP01 -> 7.1.4 upgrade failed - PROBLEM FOUND, NOT RESOLVED

Good idea - I've got lots of space, tho. Thanks Paul, I hadn't checked that yet. But I found the problem - WINZIP! I untarred the CDROM tarfile from Passport Advantage with Winzip with Smart CR/LF translation enabled (the default). With this particular file, FILE19.PKT, it will mistakenly translate characters, rendering the file corrupted. Below, "FILE19.PKT" is the good file untarred by Winzip with smart CR/LF turned off, the other is the original. They have different sizes: -rw-r----- 1 25583 system 189808956 Mar 01 13:27 FILE19.PKT -rw-r----- 1 25583 system 191578978 Mar 01 12:32 FILE19.PKT.winzip_default.untar
If you test the original file with sapack "preview" mode, it gives the same error I got during the upgrade: $ ../patch/7.1.4-NVS-CDROM/instbund/bin/aix5-r1/sapack -upP ./FILE19.PKT.winzip_default.untar messages: unpack: input error (err=54, blkno=2) FATAL. (If there is interest, I can post an sapack manpage, with warnings and disclaimers...) The new FILE19.PKT, untarred with Winzip without smart CR/LF enabled, works fine with sapack. I have now placed the files in usr/OV that it would have under normal conditions. SO! I have an answer to my Question#1. As for Question#2: I captured the after script from the next FilePackage block, FILE20.PKT. So, given that I can unpack FILE19.PKT and place the resulting files in /usr/OV, I should be able to execute the commands in the after script from FILE20.PKT. Question#2 now becomes: Is there anything else that instalnv or children do beyond the effects of wserverc and it's children? If not, I can salvage this upgrade. If so, I'm not so sure. Also looking for help with Question#3... Thanks, -Jim -- James B.

I would check your disk space those particular files(especially www.tar) are very large.
