OpenVMS VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200 Alpha V7.2-1 MOUNT96 ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200 Alpha V7.2-1 MOUNT96 ECO Summary Modification Date: 11-JAN-2001 Modification Type: Updated Kit Supersedes VMS721_MOUNT96-V0100 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. OP/SYS: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: MOUNT SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200 DEC-AXPVMS-VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200--4.PCSI ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1024 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: No Installation Rating: INSTALL_1 1 - To be installed on all systems running the listed version(s) of OpenVMS. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: VMS721_UPDATE-V0100 VMS721_PCSI-V0100 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 MOUNT on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1. This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed In VMS721_MOUNT96-V0200: o Initialize VCB$L_BLOCKFACT to be at least 1, so that the XQP does not incur 'divide by zero' and UNXSIGNAL bugchecks. Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE o When mounting a CD that was created from a disk that was larger than the CD itself, a check that compares the volume size, cluster factor and block count fails with a %MOUNT-F-FILESTRUCT error. Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE Problems Addressed in VMS721_MOUNT96-V0100: o The density of a tape is not initialized correctly, if no density is supplied and compaction is disabled. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE - [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE o Irregular errors have been reported from SYSINIT when trying to MOUNT the system disk which can lead to a system crash. All crashes have been seen only during STARTUP. Images Affected: [SYSEXE]SYSINIT.EXE o If a batch job issues a SPWAN/NOWAIT MOUNT command, and then exits while the MOUNT is in operator assist wait, the result is that the subprocess hangs in MOUNT in LEF and the main process in RWAST waiting for the subprocess to exit. Images Affected: [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE o When MOUNTing bound volume sets which are also shadow set members, MOUNT-F-INCONSET and MOUNT-I-DOVOLSET occur on certain devices. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE - [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE o The /DENSITY qualifier is quietly ignored when used with some tape devices. Many customers continue to use the /DENSITY qualifier on tape drives that do not support any specific density. Rather, they support various forms of compaction. This has led to confusion about what the drive should or should not be doing. This change simply reports the SS$_IVDENS warning message if /DENSITY was supplied and the device driver could not process it correctly. Note that the MOUNT will continue and the default compaction characteristics will be used. Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]MOUNTSHR.EXE - [SYSEXE]VMOUNT.EXE INSTALLATION NOTES: No reboot is necessary after successful installation of the kit. 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_MOUNT96 /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 All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
