PLY_WAT-VMS SNSVAXECO01022 PLY System Watchdog V2.2 VAX ECO Summary

Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1995. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: POLYCENTER System Watchdog OP/SYS: OpenVMS VAX SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: SNSVAXECO01022 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: Saveset A: 252 Blocks Saveset B: 7,371 Blocks Saveset C: 19,530 Blocks Total of 3 files: 27,153 Blocks Kit Applies To: POLYCENTER System Watchdog V2.2 OpenVMS VAX V6.0 or later NOTE: After the installation of this ECO, the Consolidator will display V2.2-03 as a version with the command: SNS> SHOW CONSOLIDATOR/FULL System Reboot Necessary: No ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for POLYCENTER System Watchdog V2.2 on OpenVMS VAX V6.0 or higher. Problems addressed in the SNSVAXECO01022 Kit: o The OpenVMS Agent can now be polled using TCP/IP. This was not possible with the previous version which was limited to DECnet access only. NOTE: This ability relies on the UCX TCP/IP services presence. o The TCP/IP communications error handling has been enhanced. o The Consolidator now retries DECnet connection attempt before generating a node UNReachable event. o Action routines are not triggered anymore for each and every message concerning a node newly detected as unreachable. o A new logical name SNS$CONSOLIDATOR_BASE_PRIORITY can be defined to customize the newly started Consolidators base priority. The default priority was raised from 2 to 3 (batch priority). o The Consolidator now accepts concealed logical names in logfile specification as well as output and error file pathnames. o A problem in System Watchdog V2.2 preventing the reuse of existing consolidator logfiles has been corrected. o The sense watchdog controller command can now read subsequent commands on the standard input. o A correction in Shadow Set names validation allows their specification by logical name. o Host based shadow set members states are now correctly detected. o The SNS$SHR.EXE shareable image entries (external messages management API) do not fail anymore when called intensively. o Sample modules written in the C language provided in the SNS$EXAMPLES directory are now ported to DEC C. o New examples have been added in the SNS$EXAMPLES directory. o The SNS$FEED_PCM.C source file for the sample POLYCENTER Console Manager feeder was tidied up. o The installation procedure is now more flexible about the transport layer configuration. In addition, NCL commands have been provided for DECnet phase V. o The "Warning: OSFNOD is a cluster alias ..." validation message is not issued anymore when polling an OSF/1 node through DECnet phase V. o The available range for the polling interval value is now [0..65535]. o The DECtalk set LINE parameter now accepts logical names. o The output for SHOW DECTALK_SET /FORMAT=COMMAND has been corrected. o The Agent no longer randomly enters a deadlock state as sometimes happened on Alpha multiprocessor systems (such as DEC7620, DEC7720), consecutively to some network I/O operation. Please refer to the Release Notes included in this ECO for additional information. INSTALLATION NOTES: The system/cluster does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if the installation is performed on a cluster, you must execute the following commands @SYS$STARTUP:SNS$STARTUP.COM INSTALL REPLACE SYS$SHARE:DCLTABLES.EXE on all other nodes in the cluster which will run POLYCENTER System Watchdog. NOTE: During the installation of this ECO, the following message will be displayed. . Add "@SYS$STARTUP:SNS$STARTUP" to the system startup file SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM. The specified system startup file name is incorrect. The correct file name is SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
