OpenVMS ALPPPPD01_071 Point-to-Point Protocol for Alpha V7.1 ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPPPPD01_071 Point-to-Point Protocol for Alpha V7.1 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. Ray, Here is the title for the abstract: *OpenVMS] ALPPPPD01_071 Point-to-Point Protocol for Alpha V7.1 ECO Summary NOTE: The Installation Rating of this kit is 1. Therefore, set the FLASH date and flag when you load this kit into TIMA. -Joe ******************************************************************************** Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998. All rights reserved. Modification Date: 25-SEP-1998 Modification Tyep: Updated Documentation to include V7.1-1Hx support. OP/SYS: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPPPPD01_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 639 Blocks Saveset A - 630 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Installation Rating: 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: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems: o On an error path that, to date, has not been exercised, it is possible to fail to return allocated pool. o Random crashes on multiprocessor systems where synchronization was broken. A crash in ASN driver where the wrong UCB was used. Caused by the terminal driver modem poller logic still running and partially switching the line back to using TTDRIVER. o On systems with most of pool used, PPP connections could not be started or would fail for no apparent reason. o Utility switches a line to PPP without checking remote bit, when doing a modem connection. o ACCVIO when trying to dial a remote connection, and time to connect times out. o Display shows undescriptive DEFAULTs instead of the actual values for hangup, input and output speed. o When an ASN device is bound to a terminal device you cannot show the parameters. INSTALLATION NOTES: System should be rebooted after successful installation of the kit. If you have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should also be rebooted in order to make use of the new images.
