OpenVMS ALPCPU1A02_062 Alpha V6.2 CPU Routines ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPCPU1A02_062 Alpha V6.2 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) Compaq Computer Corporation 1999. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 13-APR-99 Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes ALPCPU1A01_062 PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: CPU Routines SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPCPU1A02_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPCPU1A01_062 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 324 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Re-boot Supported: Yes Installation Rating: 2 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS and using the following feature(s): RACORE (Token Ring) Adapter and/or DE500-BA Adapter and/or the new Alpha 21264 system Specific Hardware System: EB164 Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: ALPLAN05_062 - - For RACORE and DE500-BA adapter support ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for the CPU Routines on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems: pProblems Addressed in the ALPCPU1A02_062 Kit: o Indexing was changed to zero-based so that array indexing will start with [0], [1], etc. not [1], [2], etc. The C language uses zero-based indexing. o A backport for OpenVMS V6.2-1H3 was done to change some definitions to unsigned long, so that the error log will not be passed over. Specifically, the error_time_threshold value was corrected because the threshold value was previously too large. Problems Addressed in the ALPCPU1A01_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. Since the supported adapter, a Thomas Conrad (Token Ring adapter), is being phased out, this new adapter must now be supported. INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, 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.
