OpenVMS ALPCPU1E03_071 Alpha V7.1 - V7.1-1H2 CPU ROUTINES ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPCPU1E03_071 Alpha V7.1 - V7.1-1H2 CPU ROUTINES ECO Summary Modification Date: 1-DEC-98 Modification Type: Updated Kit: Supersedes ALPCPU1E02_071 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 1997, 1998. All rights reserved. OP/SYS: DIGITAL OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_1E05.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPCPU1E03_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPCPU1E02_071 ALPCPU1E01_H1071 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 414 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, V7.1-1H1, V7.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Reboot Supported: Yes Installation Rating: INSTALL_2 2 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version of OpenVMS and using the following: Alpha DIGITAL Personal Workstation Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: ALPBASE02_071 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: ALPSYSA02_071 ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for SYS$CPU_ROUTINES_1E05 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E03_071: o A user installing the KZPAC Raid controller from Mylex into an Alpha Personal Workstation 600 AU series machine will see the following printed message from the console and from the VMS driver: MBX_DONE bit not set when expected. There are also associated device errors logged on the KZPAC. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E02_071: o ******* WARNING ******* Setting the SYSGEN parameter VMSD4 to 1 would be done at the extremely risk of permanent system failure. OpenVMS engineering highly recommends that VMSD4 be left set to the default value of 0, i.e., enable automatic power-off. *********************** On all previous systems, a system fan failure automatically triggers the power supply to remove power from the system. On the new Alpha "DIGITAL Personal Workstation" (DPWS) platform, operating system software is notified of any fan failures. It must respond by removing power from the system. This new operating system feature is required for system FRS. For some special applications, however, one may desire to disable automatic system power-off, which can be achieved by setting the SYSGEN parameter VMSD4 to 1. The result will be continued operation after fan failure, but at the risk mentioned in the warning above. Problems Addressed in ALPCPU1E01_H1071: o System (620) and Processor (630) correctable machine checks are not being logged to the error log file. 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.
