OpenVMS VAXINIT01_071 OpenVMS VAX V7.1 ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VAXINIT01_071 OpenVMS VAX V7.1 ECO Summary Modification Date: 18-DEC-98 Modification Type: New Kit 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. Copyright (c) Compaq Computer Corporation 1998. All rights reserved. NOTE: The documentation for this kit calls out a dependency on the VAXMOUN04_071 remedial kit. This MOUNT kit is not currently available but will be released at a future date. OP/SYS: DIGITAL OpenVMS VAX COMPONENT: INIT$SHR SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VAXINIT01_071 ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 144 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS VAX V7.1 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: Not Applicable Installation Rating: INSTALL_3 3 - To be installed on all systems running the listed versions of OpenVMS which are experiencing the problems described. Kit Dependencies: The following remedial kit(s) must be installed BEFORE installation of this kit: None In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits should also be installed: VAXSYSA02_071 VAXBACK03_071 VAXMOUN04_071 VAXDISM01_071 VAXMTAA01_071 NOTE: The documentation for this kit calls out a dependency on the VAXMOUN04_071 remedial kit. This MOUNT kit is not currently available but will be released at a future date. ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for INIT$SHR and MME on OpenVMS VAX V7.1. This kit addresses the following problems: o A possible system crash occurs during Host Based RAID Unbinds with MME code enabled. A mailbox read synchronization problem causes the crash. This problem only occurs when a host-based RAID UNBIND command is done while an MME-based application is running. This problem can occur in several different code areas of the operating system. In order to eliminate all known instances of this problem, the following remedial kits (or their supersedants) will also need to be installed: VAXSYSA02_071 VAXBACK03_071 VAXMOUN04_071 VAXDISM01_071 VAXMTAA01_071 NOTE: The documentation for this kit calls out a dependency on the VAXMOUN04_071 remedial kit. This MOUNT kit is not currently available but will be released at a future date. o A process using MME could potentially "miss" the VOL1 label on a tape. Also, a process could "hang" trying to send a message to the MME process. INSTALLATION NOTES: The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed. However, if the system is a member of a VMScluster, the other cluster members should be rebooted or this kit should be installed on each system in order to make use of the new image(s).
