OpenVMS ALPCPU0907_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 System Routines ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPCPU0907_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 System Routines ECO Summary Modification Date: 15-JUL-98 Modification Type: DOCUMENTATION: Technical This kit should only be applied to Alpha Server 2x00 systems. 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, 1998. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: System Routines SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPCPU0907_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPCPU906_062 ALPCPU905_062 ALPCPU904_062 ALPCPU903_062 ALPCPU902_062 ALPCPU901_062 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1364 Blocks Saveset A: 1350 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 Alpha Server 2x00 Systems System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Reboot Supported: Yes Installation Rating: 2 : To be installed by all customers using the following feature(s): RACORE (Token Ring) adapter and/or DE500-BA adapter KIT DEPENDENCIES: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None. In order to receive the all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: ALPLAN05_062 - For RACOR and DE500-BA adapter support AXPGUP01_062 ******************* NOTE *********************** * * * You must also install the AXPGUP01_062 kit * * or you may experience system instability * * * ************************************************* ******************** WARNING!! ******************** * * * A MACHINECHK may occur on an Alpha 2100 EV4 * * when DECwindows is started.

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU0907_062 KIT o Add support for the DE500-BA adapter and the Gigabit Ethernet adapter. o The RACORE (Token Ring) adapter was never supported in V6.2. The supported adapter, Thomas Conrad (Token Ring adapter) is being phased out so this new adapter must be supported. PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN ALPCPU906_062 KIT: o If an AlphaServer 2100 5/300, AlphaServer 2000 5/300, or AlphaServer 2100A 5/300 system has a problem with CPU0, and the console fails over to a different CPU, the user may see a mchk in PAL mode while trying to boot. (Halt code=7). o Change errorlog type codes used to log machine check frames. The errorlog type code will now match expected values for proper DECevent analysis. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU905_062: o Remedial kits ALPDRIV10_061 and ALPCPU904_062 both contain the V6.1 remedial SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_0902.EXE image. This kit eliminates the duplication. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU904_062: o There is a dependency between this kit and the AXPGUP01_062 remedial kit. When the ALPCPU904_062 remedial kit is installed on an OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 system, the AXPGUP01_062 remedial kit must also be installed. If the AXPGUP01_062 kit is not installed, it is possible to experience bugchecks caused by machine checks while in kernel mode. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU903_062: 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 5/250, AlphaServer 8400 5/275, AlphaStation 600 5/266, Digital AlphaServer 1000 4/200 and DEC 2000-300 platforms. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU902_062: o Intermittent system failures may occur due to the incorrect handling of a correctable memory error. The failure appears as an INVEXCEPTN crash. o A system crash may occur during an attempt to queue a lock request against an associated resource. The crash occurs due to a corrupt R0 register. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU901_062: o Due to machine checks that may occur during attempts to boot in PALmode, AlphaServer 2100 systems with an EV45/275 MHz CPU installed may not boot. INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If you have other nodes in your VMS cluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.
