ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for MCDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2. This kit addresses
the following problems:
Problems Addressed in VMS72_MEM_CHAN-V0100:
o Hub Timeout Errors, Memory Channel Port Re-initialization, Virtual
Circuit Closure
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
o Heart Beat Timeout causes a CPUSPINWAIT system crash
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
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.
