TITLE: OpenVMS_STORAGE DFGE01025 Disk File Optimizer V2.5 for OpenVMS 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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for Disk File Optimizer for OpenVMS V2.5 on OpenVMS
VAX V5.5-2 through V7.2 and on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 through V7.2-1. This
kit addresses the following problems:
o DFO goes into a loop while defragging a volume set consisting
of two 4 digit volumes.
Investigation
-------------
Irrespective of whether the first volume was a 4 digit or a
3 digit volume, DFO would defrag the first volume in the
volume set and then go into loop before defragging the second
volume - if it was a 4-digit volume.
The problem occurred only in case of the 2nd or 3rd... or nth,
volume being 4 digit volumes.
o Filenames were not being displayed correctly by DFO's
Monitor utility. Names of files that were currently being
defragged appeared as overlapping each other.
o The DFO Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) on
OpenVMS 7.2 was failing.
o The scheduling database on an Alpha machine running OpenVMS
V7.2 cannot be shared in case of a mixed platform cluster.
Investigation
------------
This should be viewed as a DFO restriction.
As DFO supports HFS (Heterogeneous File System) features
that are functional only in VMS 7.2 Alpha, records that are
populated via a 7.2 system cannot be viewed from cluster
members that do not support HFS and vice-versa.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Invoke the VMSINSTAL procedure using the following command:
@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL saveset-name device-name OPTIONS N
Where:
"saveset-name" is the installation name for the component. For this
Disk File Optimizer kit, use the following:
DFGE01025
"device-name" is the name of the device on which you plan to mount
the media, for example, MUA0:. It is not necessary to use the console
drive for this installation.
However, if you use the console drive, replace any media you remove
when the installation is complete.
"OPTIONS N" indicates you want to see the release notes. If you do
not include this parameter, VMSINSTAL does not ask you about the release
notes.
Review the release notes before proceeding with the installation as they
could contain additional installation information.
For more details consult the "COMPAQ Disk File Optimizer for OpenVMS
Installation Guide."
The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is
installed. However, the Disk File Optimizer for OpenVMS should be
shutdown and restarted in order for all kit changes to take effect.
