OpenVMS ALPMTAA02_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 MTAAACP ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPMTAA02_062 Alpha V6.2 - V6.2-1H3 MTAAACP ECO Summary Modification Date: 01-FEB-1999 Modification Type: Corrected typographical error. Updated Article to list the dependent ECO ALPMOUN04_062 as unavailable until a later date. 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. OP/SYS: DIGITAL OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: MTAAACP - MTAAACP.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPMTAA02_062 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: ALPMTAA01_062 AXPMTAA01_061 (AXPMTAA) ECO Kit Approximate Size: 450 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3 System Reboot Necessary: No Installation Rating: INSTALL_3 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: ALPSYSA02_062 ALPDISM02_062 ALPINIT01_062 ALPMOUN04_062 ALPMTAA02_062 ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for MTAAACP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V6.2-1H3. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems addressed in the ALPMTAA02_062 kit: 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: o ALPSYSA02_062 o ALPDISM02_062 o ALPINIT01_062 o ALPMOUN04_062 o ALPMTAA02_062 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 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2x Only: 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).
