OpenVMS ALPMANA02_070 Alpha V6.1/ V7.0 SYSMAN/SMISERVER ECO Summary
TITLE: OpenVMS ALPMANA02_070 Alpha V6.1/ V7.0 SYSMAN/SMISERVER ECO Summary
 
Modification Date:  12-AUG-1999
Modification Type:  Modified Kit:  Fixes for OpenVMS Alpha
                                   V6.2* have been moved to
                                   ALPMANA02_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 SYSMAN and STARTUP on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 and
V7.0.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:

  o  SYSMAN 'DO' commands that result in very long output records
     result in errors similar to the following:

       -RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
       -SYSTEM-F-MBTOOSML, mailbox is too small for request

     There may be some SYSMAN truncation errors also.

  o  The SYSMAN 'PARAM SET' command, when executed on a cluster,
     would return with an extraneous NOMORENODE error message.

  o  With the SYSMAN 'DO' command, certain DCL commands that do not
     have output (e.g., SYSMAN> DO DEFINE XXX YYY) would take at
     least 10 seconds/node to complete.


Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_070 for OpenVMS Alpha V7.0:

  o  SYSMAN accommodates the use of a ! at the beginning of its
     command line.  All characters subsequent to the ! are ignored
     and processing is passed to the next SYSMAN> prompt.  A
     regression in behavior occurred causing a ! character at the
     beginning of a SYSMAN command line to return:

       %CLI-W-NOCOMD, no command on line - reenter with alphabetic first
                      character


Problems addressed in ALPMANA01_061:

  o  For nodes running DECNET Phase V, SYSMAN may return the
     following errors:

       %SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node

       LIB-F-INSEF, insufficient event flags

     when repeatedly issuing a DO command, exiting and then
     re-entering SYSMAN to issue another DO command.  Mailboxes
     were not being deassigned at the end of the SYSMAN session.

     This problem is fixed in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2

  o  SMISERVER experiences intermittent hangs, particularly when
     SYSMAN DO commands are issued from within a batch job.

     This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system
must be rebooted.  If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the 
entire cluster should be rebooted.
