HP Services Software Patches - alpveri03_061
 
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 VERIFY.EXE on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.1-1H2. 
This kit addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ALPVERI03_061 Kit:

  o  VERIFY does not flag files, which are directly back linked to
     themselves, as having invalid backlinks. 

  o  VERIFY hangs in an infinite loop during its scan of the directory
     structure. 


Problems Addressed in the ALPVERI01_071 Kit:

  o  ANALYZE/DISK goes into an infinite loop.

     VERIFY has incorrectly 'fixed' the backlink of a lost directory to
     point to itself.  The next time VERIFY is run, it encounters the
     lost directory and goes into a tight loop following the directory's
     backlink. 


Problems Addressed in the ALPVERI01_062 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: 

  o  Errors similar to these may occur during execution of the
     'ANALYZE/DISK' DCL command:

          %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME, invalid alternate home block, VBN 3,
           RVN 1

          %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME, invalid alternate home block, VBN 4,
           RVN 1

          %ANALDISK-W-CHKALTHOME, invalid alternate home block, VBN 5,
           RVN 1

     This problem has been corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.


Problems Addressed in the AXPVERI02_061 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2: 

  o  When running ANAL/DISK/REPAIR, a directory that is reported as
     having bad backlinks may be completely erased if it contains an
     alias pointing to itself.

     This problem has been corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.

  o  When running ANAL/DISK, an error may be returned from LIB  (for
     example, "-LIB-F-BADBLOSIZ, bad block size") and a user-mode
     crash may occur.

     This problem has been corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.

  o  ANAL/DISK does not notice out of order file names or versions
     within a directory block.

     This problem has been corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.


Problems Addressed in the AXPVERI01_061 Kit:

  o  When ANAL/DISK/REPAIR is run on a volume containing corrupt
     directory files, the system crashes with an UNXSIGNAL bugcheck.

     NOTE:  Verify has been changed so all errors detected by the XQP
            are also detected by ANAL/DISK and fixed if ANAL/DISK/REPAIR
            is used.  Bad RVNs (relative volume numbers) in directory
            files are now removed properly and ANAL/DISK/REPAIR will not
            bugcheck when fixing a broken directory.

     This problem will be fixed in a future release of OpenVMS Alpha.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they should
be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in order to
make use of the new image(s).
