OpenVMS ALPSYSI01_071 Alpha V7.1 - V7.1-1H2 SYSINIT ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS ALPSYSI01_071 Alpha V7.1 - V7.1-1H2 SYSINIT ECO Summary Modification Date: 17-NOV-98 Modification Type: New Kit 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: SYSINIT.EXE IOGEN$SCSI_CONFIG.EXE IOGEN$SHARE.EXE SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: ALPSYSI01_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None. ECO Kit Approximate Size: 667 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, V7.1-1H1, V7.1-1H2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: Yes Rolling Re-boot Supported: Yes 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_071 ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for SYSINIT problems on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 through V7.1-1H2. This kit addresses the following problems: o A satellite will hang while booting under the following conditions: 1. The satellite has device naming on; 2. It boots from a served disk which does not have a PAC (DKcn); and 3. It has a PAC assigned to its local PKC. In order to get the full fix, the ALPSYSA02_071 kit also needs to be installed. o A connection to TMSCP served tapes results in a system crash. o Deadlocks or up to 72-second delays occur during booting of a node that uses SCSI port allocation classes. The deadlocks occur if the votes from a quorum disk are needed to form a cluster or if the page or swap disk is a disk other than the system disk. INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
