Replacing the parameter file on the upgraded system with the one from the clean VSI install did not make a difference WRT the network; it did cause some complaints because DECwindows could not start, but everything else did after I updated SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID in the copied file to match the upgraded system's name and ID.

I tried a second NIC port for the hell of it, but none of them come up.  Counters show the same errors as before.

I'm contacting the customer's VSI rep to find out how we can put in a support request; hopefully that side of things has been taken care of.
