OpenVMS ALPDRIV18_061 Alpha V6.1 DUDRIVER/TUDRIVER 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 1996, 1997. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: SYS$DUDRIVER.EXE SYS$TUDRIVER.EXE SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPDRIV18_061 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPDRIV15_061 ALPDRIV04_070 (For OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 *ONLY*) ALPDRIV03_070 (For OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 *ONLY*) ECO Kit Approximate Size: 558 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. NOTES: In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit, the following remedial kits also need to be installed: ALPSHAD09_061 ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for SYS$DUDRIVER/SYS$TUDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV18_061 kit: o Attempting to perform a directory of a mounted tape causes the process to hang and "INVALID COMMAND" MSCP END MSG* errorlog entries to be generated. o A PACKACK, which is issued on a local ALPHA node to an MSCP cartridge tape drive (for example a TF86) returns success, even if there is no cartridge in the tape drive. This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V7.1. o Unexpected end messages are logged on client nodes for GUS and AVAILABLE commands. o DUDRIVER does not FLUSH the pending queue of SHADOWING, HBR and served IOs when connection failure routines are entered. This causes a system/cluster hang. o A DCL copy command to a HSD05/10 based tape drive causes a process hang. Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV15_061 kit: o These OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 problem corrections were included in the multi-version ALPDRIV04_070 remedial kit. They are now being issued as a V6.1 only remedial kit. There are no new problem corrections in this remedial kit. Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV04_070 kit: o A problem exists with HSJ/HSD 30, 40 and 50 controllers. After some event that initiates Mount Verification, a Pack-Ack will fail to complete. The controller will report that it is making progress on the command, but will never finish. This causes all IO to the affected devices to be hung. Problems addressed in the ALPDRIV03_070 kit: o The system experiences repetitive Volume Processing Messages on Host Based Volume Shadowing Disks. The CDDB$W_RSTRTCNT field of the member devices will be incrementing as seen in the REINIT Count field under SDA. 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
