OpenVMS ALPDRIV19_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 LRDRIVER ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPDRIV19_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 LRDRIVER ECO Summary Modification Date: 27-JAN-99 Modification Type: Updated Kit: Supersedes ALPDRIV03_062 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 1996, 1999. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: DIGITAL OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: LRDRIVER - SYS$LRDRIVER.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPDRIV19_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPDRIV03_062 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 216 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: INSTALL_3 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for LRDRIVER.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in ALPDRIV19_062: o The (superseded) ALPDRIV03_062 remedial kit did not include all the fixes listed in the documentation. Problems addressed in ALPDRIV03_062: o All known problems with TAB expansions. o Random non-useful completion status is sometimes returned. The correct, meaningful error status is now returned. o The system might crash with a double deallocate when a device is spooled. o Random garbage characters may be printed when the printer is set to 'DEVICE/PRINTALL.' o Problems may exist with DEClaser 1152 and third-party CalComp[TM] & Tektronics[R] plotters and LP27s. 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. REFERENCES: [TM] CalComp is a trademark of Lockheed Corporation.
