OpenVMS ALPMANA02_070 Alpha V6.1/ V7.0 SYSMAN/SMISERVER ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPMANA02_070 Alpha V6.1/ V7.0 SYSMAN/SMISERVER ECO Summary Modification Date: 12-AUG-1999 Modification Type: Modified Kit: Fixes for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2* have been moved to ALPMANA02_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: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: SYSMAN SMISERVER SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPMANA02_070 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPMANA01_070 ALPMANA01_062 ALPMANA01_061 ECO Kit Approximate Size: 3168 Blocks Saveset A - 180 Blocks Saveset B - 1512 Blocks Saveset D - 1476 Blocks Cover Letter - 15 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V7.0 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. 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 SYSMAN and STARTUP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0: o SYSMAN 'DO' commands that result in very long output records result in errors similar to the following: -RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed -SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also. o The SYSMAN 'PARAM SET' command, when executed on a cluster, would return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message. o With the SYSMAN 'DO' command, certain DCL commands that do not have output (e.g., SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at least 10 seconds/node to complete. Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0: o SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! at the beginning of its command line. All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt. A regression in behavior occurred causing a ! character at the beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return: %CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic first character Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_061: o For nodes running DECNET Phase V, SYSMAN may return the following errors: %SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node LIB-F-INSEF, insufficient event flags when repeatedly issuing a DO command, exiting and then re-entering SYSMAN to issue another DO command. Mailboxes were not being deassigned at the end of the SYSMAN session. This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 o SMISERVER experiences intermittent hangs, particularly when SYSMAN DO commands are issued from within a batch job. This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2. 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 entire cluster should be rebooted.
