OK, thanks for the reply and I apologize for my tardiness in getting
around to this.
Well, I've got the following in my .ini file (eliding the unnecessary
stuff):
set tu enable
set tu tm03
...
set tu1 format=tpc
attach -er tu1 tapes/ro/BASIC-PLUS-2-V2.6.TPC
...
When I fire up RSTS/E 10.1 I do the following:
$ mount mm1
%Device is write protected
Density is 800
Tape is in ANSI format
Label: bp2
$ dir mm1:
Name .Typ Size Name .Typ Size Name .Typ
Size MM1:
INSTAL.BCK* 97 P BP2REL.BCK* 26 P BP2 .BCK*
1856 P
PBLT .BCK* 728 P
Total of 2707 blocks in 4 files in MM1:
So now I run @[0,1]instal layered_products and select BP2 when given
the opportunity. It goes through the usual questions: mount device,
target account, etc. and then, after collecting all that information
asks me if I'm ready to proceed. When I answer "yes":
RSTS/E V10.1-L Software Installation Procedure
20-Feb-11 01:08 AM
Build Phase
Restoring BP2 update components from the Installation kit
Please mount volume 2 on _MM1:.
Press RETURN to continue :
I'm just at a loss here. The tape is mounted. It looks perfectly
fine when I take a directory of it. What's weirder is that I can't do
anything with MM1: once I've run instal. The device is offline and I
can't for the life of me figure out how to do anything with it after
that. set device mm1: /enable doesn't do the trick nor does anything
else I can find.
Just a possibility, but did you rewind the tape after you did the
directory? It's been a long time but, I think install sometimes did odd
things when it wasn't at the front of the tape.
