6.1 to 7.3A upgrade: error upgrading SAM database

After upgrading to VMS V7.3-2, I am trying to upgrade
from V6.2 to Advanced server V7.3A.
(VMS 7.1-2 to 7.2 then 7.3-2)

@SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG, I receive the following error:
"%PWRK-F-SAMCHECK, error upgrading SAM databases"

(See below for a more complete print out of the error)

I assume that the SAM database is corrupt on VMS V7.1-2
and the upgrade "discovers" the problem.

Is there a procedure to fix the SAM database?

Thanks in advance.

ERROR DURING SYS$UPGRADE:PWRK$CONFIG:

Do you want to change the server configuration parameters now? [YES]: NO
The OpenVMS Registry server is already started on this node.

Error getting this server's role from the existing databases.
Make sure the file server or another utility is not running
You must execute @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG again.
The Advanced Server configuration is incomplete and cannot continue.
