OpenVMS ALPMTAA01_070 Alpha V6.1; V7.0 MTAAACP ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPMTAA01_070 Alpha V6.1; V7.0 MTAAACP 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) Compaq Computer Corporation 1995, 1999. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 01-FEB-99 Modification Type: Editorial Modification: This kit is no longer applicable to OpenVMS Alpha V6.2x. OP/SYS: DIGITAL OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: MTAAACP - MTAAACP.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPMTAA01_070 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPMTAA01_062 AXPMTAA01_061 (AXPMTAA) ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1054 Blocks Saveset A: 180 Blocks Saveset B: 288 Blocks Saveset D: 288 Blocks Cover Letter: 10 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V7.0 System Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: INSTALL_1 1 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS. NOTE: In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit, the following remedial kits also need to be installed: ALPSHAD09_061 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 systems only. The ALPSHAD09_061 ECO Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 systems and this ALPMTAA01_070 ECO kit both contain the identical MTAAACP.EXE image. Therefore, if you already have the ALPSHAD09_061 ECO kit installed on your system, you already have the most recent version of the MTAAACP.EXE image for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for MTAAACP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and V7.0. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in the ALPMTAA01_070 kit for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0: o MTAACP can hang during multivolume copy operations. NOTE: According to OpenVMS Engineering, the fixes discussed below have been included in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. There are some fixes that have been included in previous versions of OpenVMS and those versions are specified in text following the problem descriptions. Problems addressed in the ALPMTAA01_062 kit: o The system crashes with NOBVPVCB bugcheck when performing a test for an empty queue with a DO_CANCEL function in ACPCTR.B32. o The system crashes with an XQPERR bugcheck while dismounting a MAD drive. Problems addressed in the AXPMTAA01_061 kit: o If a tape is initialized with a non-blank accessibility field and then mounted using /OVERRIDE=(ACCESSIBILITY), the tape mounts but cannot be read or written to. The command format to initialize the tape would be similar to: INIT/LABEL=VOLUME_ACCESSIBILITY="+" tape: LABEL In addition, the following OPCOM messages are generated and the tape volume is automatically unloaded after an attempt to WRITE or READ the tape volume: %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 12-DEC-1994 12:57:23.53 %%%%%%%%%%% Message from user USERXX on NODEXX non-blank accessibility field in volume labels on SYS$DEVICE: %%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 12-DEC-1994 12:57:23.54 %%%%%%%%%%% o MTAAACP posts attention ASTs to its mailbox. If the AST QUOTA reached zero and an attempt was made to kill the MTAAACP process or the process that emitted the QIO, MTAAACP would go into the RWAST state and hang. INSTALLATION NOTES: The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if you have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to make use of the new image(s).
