I have opened an HPRC call for this, so while I am waiting on a 
call-back, can anyone give some idea of what's happening here?  
When I try to run PSCONFIG I get:

JIM,MANAGER.SYS,PRED 12:23 PM> PSCONFIG
(100) Error accessing the OPSDB

The first-line RC engineer said that message is usually displayed 
if PS is not installed on the machine; however, the HPSWINFO file 
says it *is* installed.  The system is a 918RX running MPE/iX 5.5, 
with no power patches installed.  I *know* PSCONFIG ran in the past 
because I have configured the peripherals in it way back when the 
system was first installed (almost a year ago), in fact, I was 
running PSCONFIG to get the serial numbers for the peripherals 
to compare to our support agreement.
