OpenVMS VMS72_BACKUP-V0100 Alpha V7.2 BACKUP ECO Summary

TITLE: OpenVMS VMS72_BACKUP-V0100 Alpha V7.2 BACKUP ECO Summary Modification Date: 18-AUG-1999 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 1999. All rights reserved. PRODUCT: OpenVMS Alpha COMPONENT: BACKUP SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation ECO INFORMATION: ECO Kit Name: VMS72_BACKUP-V0100 DEC-AXPVMS-VMS72_BACKUP-V0100--4.PCSI ECO Kits Superseded by This ECO Kit: None ECO Kit Approximate Size: 1232 Blocks Kit Applies To: OpenVMS Alpha V7.2 System/Cluster Reboot Necessary: No Rolling Re-boot Supported: N/A 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: None ECO KIT SUMMARY: An ECO kit exists for BACKUP on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2. This kit addresses the following problems: o A %BACKUP-F-BADOPTVAL error can occur when using an Identifier String for a BACKUP/BY_OWNER qualifier value. For example: $ BACKUP SOURCE:*.*/BY_OWNER=USER TAPE:A.BCK/SAV %BACKUP-F-BADOPTVAL, invalid callable interface option value, argument position 7, option type = 59, option value = 2147549409 Image(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o General tape device problems can occur, due to an MTD enhancement. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o Superfluous ACCONFLICT messages can occur using /IGNORE=INTERLOCK with the ODS5 disk. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o Two MTD problems can occur: 1. The new to "DENSITY=" feature does not consistently set a tape device to the desired 'default' density. 2. Superfluous -W-DENSITY messages can be output from BACKUP. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o An implied default device density value may not be consistently applied to tape devices, particularly on continuation volumes (MTD related). This problem occurs when no DENSITY or MEDIA_FORMAT qualifier is supplied on the command line. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o Intermittent access violations can occur at volume switch when a continuation volume is needed. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o ACKUP/JOURNAL can fail with an ACCVIO under the following conditions: 1. Backing up a moderate number of files to tape 2. Backing up a file where the combined length of the directory specification and filename exceed 512 characters Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE o When a complete filename is specified with a relative (negative) file version, no files are selected. Images(s) Affected: - [SYSEXE]BACKUP.EXE - [SYSLIB]BACKUPSHR.EXE 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).
