I am upgrading to Oracle 7.3.2.3.2 on VMS Alpha 7.1 this weekend.

                                                                 
When trying to start an instance, I get this error:              
-----------

ORA-12547: TNS:lost contact

When I try this:

sqlplus user/pass

I get the same error.

When I try:

sqlplus user/pass_at_sid

I get this:

SQL*Plus: Release 3.3.2.0.1 - Production on Fri Jul 17 15:09:26 1998

ORA-07692: ssmsget: $MGBLSC_64 failure

I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
