Hello Admin Wizards,

once more the list prooved to be useful.

Answers came in from (in order of appearance):
Nikola Milutinovic, Tim Cutts, Michael Polnick, Lucien Hercaud, Iain
Barker, John Farmer, Fred van Kempen, Eric Werme and - as always - Dr.
Thomas Blinn (who has saved my ass by now for uncountable times :o) )

Generally there are two theses:
a) the shared C++ libs are part of the standard distribution
b) the swxcrmgr might need an older version of the libs (since the
software is quite outdated, too) (Fred and Nikola)

Both theses prooved to be right.
a) Thomas Blinn, Michael Polnick and Lucien Hercaud suggested to edit
the installation routine of the swxcrmgr (what I actually did)
b) Iain Barker pointed me to the newer CXX redist pack and suggested to
install it - i did not do that because according to the data I got from
c) Tim Cutts I already had this version installed.
d) John Farmer suggested to check whether or not the libraries are in
the PATH (they are by now)
e) Nikola Milutinovic suggested to try and get the newer version of
swxcrmgr (1.13).

What I also found is the following that was brought up in may 2003 by
Mohamed Ahmed and basically meets (except the names of the sets) with a)
above
---------------------------------------------------------------
(1) install
CXLLIBA510 installed DEC C++ Class Archive Libraries
CXLSHRDA510 installed DEC C++ Class Shared Libraries

(2) change the following line in SWXCRMGR111.scp in the instctrl
directory:
          STL_DepEval CXXSHRDA??? || {
      to :
          STL_DepEval CXLSHRDA??? || {

(3) install
SWXCRMGR111

(4) Verified installation:
# setld -i | grep SWXCRMGR111
SWXCRMGR111 installed StorageWorks RAID Array 200 Management Utility V1.1.1

------------------------------------------------------------------
And at last Kjetil Jensen says that
"I know that SWXCR subsets are not supported under Tru64 v5.x , but I do
have them up and running on v5.1a with subset SWXCR123 and SWXCRMGR123 .
After installing the subsets I had to create v4-style devicefiles for
each disk you present from the controller.

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV re0
# ./MAKEDEV re1
for each raid disk you present from the controller.

Remember that this is not a supported solution, but I have had no
problems with this setup so far!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Problems solved
Thanks to you all!!

regards
CW
