*OpenVMS] ALPF11C03_062 Alpha V1.5 - V6.2 F11CD ECO Summary

TITLE: *OpenVMS] ALPF11C03_062 Alpha V1.5 - V6.2 F11CD 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. *OpenVMS] ALPF11C03_062 Alpha V1.5 - V6.2 F11CD ECO Summary Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1995, 1996. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: Files-11 CD - F11CD SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPF11C03_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPF11C02_062 ALPF11C01_062 AXPF11C01_061 (AXPF11C) AXPF11C02_061 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1561 Blocks Saveset A - 180 Blocks Saveset B - 468 Blocks Saveset C - 450 Blocks Saveset D - 450 Blocks Cover Letter - 13 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V1.5, V1.5-1H1, V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 System Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. NOTE: In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit, the following remedial kits also need to be installed: None. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for Files-11 CD support on OpenVMS Alpha V1.5 through V6.2. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in the ALPF11C03_062 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3: o The ALPF11C02_062 kit should have but would not install on the V6.2-1H3 hardware release. NOTE: According to OpenVMS Engineering, the fixes discussed below have been included in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. If any of the fixes is included in a previous version of OpenVMS, that version is specified in the text following the problem description. Problems Addressed in the ALPF11C02_062 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: o When installed on a V6.1 system the ALPF11C01_062 kit would install V1.5 images. Problems Addressed in the ALPF11C01_062 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3: o A non-compliant ISO 9660 CD-ROM may have been incorrectly mastered such that the volume set fields in various ISO 9660 meta-data is left as '0'. ISO 9660 supports volume sets in the range of 1 to 32767, and thus there is no volume set '0'. o The $QIO READ-ATTRUBUTES entry for ATR$C_BACKLINK failed to return the current file/directories backlink in all cases. This failure impacted Pathworks directory caching. Problems Addressed in the AXPF11C02_061 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha for V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: o A third-party ISO 9660 CD-ROM may contain ISO 9660 meta-data which does not conform to the ISO 9660 (1988) standard. The meta-data may cause the data lengths to exceed the current data buffer. This condition may cause OpenVMS Alpha to crash with an access violation from KERNEL mode, for example, an INVEXCPTION crash. Problems Addressed in the AXPF11C01_061 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V1.5, V1.5-1H1, V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: o When a partial or full directory is requested on an ISO 9660 CD-ROM, files appear to be missing. If the first matching file is a file without an extension, files with extensions are skipped. INSTALLATION NOTES: The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if you have other nodes in your VMScluster, you should install this kit on each system in order to make use of the new image(s).
