TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721_DQCONFIG-V0200 OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1 DQCONFIG ECO Summary

Modification Date:  25-JAN-2000
Modification Type:  Updated Kit:  Supersedes VMS721_DQCONFIG-V0100

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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DQCONFIG on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1.  This kit 
addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in VMS721_DQCONFIG-V0200:

  o  Use of a CD-ROM on a high performance Alpha system may cause
     the PCI bus on the system to hang.

     Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE


Problems Addressed in VMS721_DQCONFIG-V0100:

  o  When a system that includes IDE/ATA or ATAPI drives is booted
     from one of these devices, a second unit on the same IDE bus
     will not autoconfigure.  For example, if system boot is from
     DQA0:, drive DQA1: will not be auto-configured.  Currently, the 
     only systems affected are the DS10/VS10/XP90.

     Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$ICBM.EXE

  o  ES40 machines crash when a KZPAC is installed in Hose 0 and an
     attempt is made to mount a CD-ROM.  This problem is also seen,
     to a lesser degree, on other platforms.

     Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE

  o  Remove DMA support on the following platforms:
       +  DPWS-xxxau
       +  XP1000
       +  DS20
       +  DS20E
       +  SMARTengine 21264/Alpha PCI/ISA SBC

     Images Affected:  [SYS$LDR]SYS$DQDRIVER.EXE


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 VMS721_DQCONFIG /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 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.
