OpenVMS ALPINIT01_062 Alpha V6.2 INIT$SHR ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPINIT01_062 Alpha V6.2 INIT$SHR ECO Summary Modification Date: 22-DEC-1998 Modification Type: Modified Installation Rating from "1" to "2". NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998. All rights reserved. NOTE: The documentation for this kit calls out a dependency on the ALPMOUN04_062 remedial kit. This MOUNT kit is not currently available but will be available at a future date. OP/SYS: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: INIT - INIT$SHR.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPINIT01_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 360 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: INSTALL_2 2 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS and using the following feature(s): Host-based RAID and MME Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: ALPCLUSIO01_062 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: ALPSYSA02_062 ALPBACK02_062 ALPDISM02_062 ALPMOUN04_062 ALPMTAA02_062 ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for INIT$SHR.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in ALPINIT01_062: o A possible system crash occurs during Host Based RAID Unbinds with MME code enabled. A mailbox read synchronization problem causes the crash. This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND command is done while an MME-based application is running. This problem may occur in several different code areas of the operating system. In order to eliminate all instances of this problem, the following remedial kits (or their supersedants) will also need to be installed: ALPSYSA02_062 ALPBACK02_062 ALPDISM02_062 ALPMOUN04_062 ALPMTAA02_062 INSTALLATION NOTES: Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPINIT01_062 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset. No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit. However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each system in order to make use of the new image.
