TITLE: OpenVMS VAXSYSL04_062 VAX V6.2 SET TIME/System Crash SYSLOA ECO Summary
Modification Date: 15-JAN-99
Modification Type: Updated Kit: Supersedes VAXSYSL03_062
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 various SYSLOA images on OpenVMS VAX V6.2. This kit
addresses the following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYSL04_062:
o Interrupt vectors are not set properly in Backplane
Interconnect-specific (BI-specific) System Control Block
(SCB) pages.
o A system crash, with a CPUSANITY or CPUSPINWAIT bugcheck, can
occur when the Interrupt Stack pointer is near or at a page
boundary. A system hang can also occur.
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VAXSYSL03_062:
o "$ SET TIME" without a specific time has been known to cause
intermittent SS$_IVTIME (%SYSTEM-F-IVTIME, invalid time) errors
on VAX model 7000-600 multiprocessor (SMP) machines.
INSTALLATION NOTES:
The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is
rebooted.
If you have other nodes in your VMS cluster, 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.
