OpenVMS ALPCPU02_062 Alpha V6.1-1H1 - V6.2-1H1 CPU ROUTINES ECO Summary

NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1995, 1996. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: CPU Routines SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPCPU02_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPCPU01_062 ECO Kit Approximate Size: Saveset A - 162 Blocks Saveset B - 306 Blocks Saveset C - 612 Blocks Cover Letter - 8 Blocks Total of 4 files - 1088 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for the CPU Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1-1H1 through V6.2-1H1. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in the ALPCPU02_062 ECO Kit: o When a device driver uses IOC$NODE_FUNCTION to disable a device interrupt in the IRQ range 8 to 15, keyboard interrupts are also disabled. This problem is seen on systems with customer-written drivers. Because of the higher overhead of IOC$NODE_FUNCTION, the recommended way to disable interrupts is at the device itself. The part of the code affected is used by AlphaServer 1000 4/200, AlphaServer 400 4/233, EB64 and AlphaStation 600 5/266 platforms, but the problem has only been reported on Digital AlphaServer 1000 4/200 platforms. o If a device's EISA configuration utility CFG file requests two or more IRQs, the device can crash an EISA_based system. This problem can occur on Digital AlphaServer 2100 4/250, AlphaServer 8400 5/275, AlphaStation 600 5/266, Digital AlphaServer 1000 4/200 and DEC 2000-300 platforms. Problems addressed in the ALPCPU01_062 ECO Kit: o On AlphaStation 200, AlphaStation 400 4/233, and AlphaServer 1000 4/200 CPUs, about one out of every ten SET TIME commands will set the year or month incorrectly. It appears that the most common incorrect years are 2014 and 1758. This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. INSTALLATION NOTES: In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire cluster must be rebooted.
