OpenVMS VMS712_MEM_CHAN-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 Memory Channel ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VMS712_MEM_CHAN-V0100 Alpha V7.1-2 Memory Channel ECO Summary Modification Date: 12-OCT-1999 Modification Type: Updated Problem Description for CPUSPINWAIT system crashes. 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 1999. All rights reserved.

This kit addresses the following problems: o CPUSPINWAIT system crashes may occur if Memory Channel 1.x adapters experience hardware errors while Heartbeat Timeout is enabled. Image(s) Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$MCDRIVER.EXE o Customers who install or upgrade to V7.1-2 or later versions of OpenVMS ALPHA may experience Hub Timeout errors, Memory Channel port re-initialization and virtual circuit closure on Memory Channel 1.0 or 1.5 devices. This problem is not seen on Memory Channel 2.0 devices. In some cases the memory channel adapter has been set offline and the customer must reboot to re-enable it. Image(s) Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$MCDRIVER.EXE INSTALLATION NOTES: The images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted. If there are other nodes in the VMScluster, 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. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
