OpenVMS VMS712_LAN-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 LAN ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VMS712_LAN-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 LAN ECO Summary Modification Date: 28-JUL-2000 Modification Type: Documentation: Search String Clarification NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe. For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system, rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 2000. All rights reserved.

Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: VMS712_UPDATE-V0300 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for LAN on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1-2. This kit addresses the following problems: PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS712_LAN-V0100 KIT o Add support for XP1000 embedded Ethernet adapter. Add support for the COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 embedded Ethernet adapter. The ADAPTER_NAME field in the COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 embedded Ethernet SROM is blank. Since, the boot and runtime drivers are only aware of this field being blank for the Digital Personal Workstation, these drivers will see the COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 as a Digital Personal Workstation. The COMPAQ Professional Workstation XP1000 and Digital Personal Workstation embedded Ethernets are not programmed in the same way. o Autonegotiation fails. When the Tulip bootdriver determines that a 21143 chip is present it checks the EEPROM to further identify the controller type. If the EEPROM does not further identify the controller, the driver checks if the system type is a Digital Personal Workstation. If it is, the MAU type is determined and the controller is programmed accordingly. The XP-1000 platform does not identify the controller in the EEPROM and is not a Digital Personal Workstation so the bootdriver was returning OFFLINE on a network boot. INSTALLATION NOTES: Install this kit with the PolyCenter Software Installation utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: PRODUCT INSTALL VMS712_LAN /SOURCE=[location of Kit] The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, 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.
